Condition
Colour:
The colours in the catalogue illustration are fairly accurate. The catalogue illustration fails to fully convey they painterly texture of the surface apparent in the original.
Condition:
This work is in very good condition. There is extremely light wear and artist's pin holes in all four corners. Visible only upon close inspection, there are a small number of thin, short and isolated cracks scattered in places. No restoration is apparent when examined under ultra-violet light.
