Colour:
The colours in the catalogue illustration are fairly accurate, although the overall tonality is deeper and richer in the original.
Condition:
This work is in very good condition. The canvas is slightly slack. Upon very close inspection, there are a few hairline circular impact cracks towards the centre of the lower edge, and a short fine horizontal crack to the right of this.
