Condition
Colour:
The colours in the catalogue illustration are fairly accurate, although the white background tends more towards cream in the original.
Condition:
This work is in very good condition. Some paint smudges are visible in the white area of the canvas, which appear to be original and inherent to the artist's working process. On close inspection there are a few very light handling marks intermittently along the extreme right edge. No restoration is apparent when examined under ultra-violet light.
