Condition
Colour:
The colours in the catalogue illustration are fairly accurate, although the overall tonality is brighter and deeper in the original. The yellow pigment tends more towards a bright lemon, the blue pigment tends more towards a bright cerulean and the greens tends more towards a forest green.
Condition:
This work is in very good condition. There is evidence of extremely light wear to all four corner tips. Extremely close inspection reveals a few faint and unobtrusive handling marks along the vertical edges, and a very small number of minute hairline cracks in a few isolated places in the right half of the composition. There is a pinhead-sized speck of paint loss towards the centre of the lower right quadrant. No restoration is apparent when examined under ultra-violet light.
