Condition
Colour:
The colours in the catalogue illustration are fairly accurate, although the overall tonality is brighter and much more vibrant in the original, with more prominent warm yellow undertones. The catalogue illustration fails to convey the blue iridescent embroidery of the figure's tears. There is no turquoise parch below the figure's right ear in the original work, please refer to the on-line catalogue image.
Condition:
This work is in very good condition.
