Condition
Colour: The colours in the catalogue illustration are fairly accurate, although the overall tonality is deeper and richer in the original. The catalogue illustration fails to fully convey the three dimensionality of the work, apparent in the original.
Condition: This work is in very good condition. On close inspection there are a small number of very fine isolated hairline cracks scattered in places to the figures skirt, and a further very fine crack running from the back of the figure's left arm to the top of the back of the skirt. Visible in the lighter areas of pigment, there is some light, superficial surface dirt.
