Colour:
The colours in the catalogue illustration are fairly accurate although the overall colours are a warmer brighter and more vibrant in the original especially the skin tones.
Condition:
There is tape around the edges of the canvas and faint stretcher mark parallel to the top and bottom edges. There are scattered light media accretions and handling marks in places around the edges. There is slight canvas draw along the left edge. There are networks of very fine crackelure in places throughout. The surface would benefit from a light cleaning.
