Condition
Colour:
The catalogue illustration is fairly accurate; although the background tends towards a more stark white in the original work.
Condition:
This work is in very good condition. Upon extremely close inspection, there are a small number of very light and unobtrusive handling marks running intermittently along the top extreme edge of the canvas with the figure. No restoration is apparent when examined under ultra-violet light.
