Colour:
The colours in the catalogue illustration are fairly accurate although the lower part of the composition is slightly lighter in the original.
Condition:
This work is in very good condition. Visible only when examined out of its frame is some light frame rubbing with associated tiny specks of paint loss to the extreme outer edges. There are a few cracks to the upper left quadrant of the composition. No restoration is apparent when examined under ultraviolet light.
