Condition
Colour:
The colours in the catalogue illustration are fairly accurate although the overall tonality tends more towards a true white in the original.
Condition:
This work is in very good condition. Extremely close inspection reveals a few minute and unobtrusive surface scratches in a few isolated places along the edges all of which are likely to be original to the work's execution. No restoration is apparent when examined under ultraviolet light.

"There is never a question of what to paint, but only how to paint. But only how to paint. The how of painting has always been the image - the end result."
