Condition

Colour: The colours in the catalogue illustration are fairly accurate, although the overall tonality is slightly deeper with the colour of the shirt tending more towards a bright pink. Condition: This work is in very good condition. There is evidence of light wear to the top two corners. Very close inspection reveals a very small number of pinhead-sized and unobtrusive flyspots in a few isolated places in the lighter pigment. No restoration is apparent when examined under ultra-violet light.
