Condition

Colour: The colours in the catalogue illustration are fairly accurate although the overall tonality is brighter in the original. Condition: This work is in very good condition. There is light wear to the extreme outer edges, notably in the lower left corner. Some of the impasto peaks are slightly rubbed. Extremely close inspection reveals a small number of tiny and unobtrusive hairline cracks in some of the thicker areas of impasto. No restoration is apparent when examined under ultraviolet light.
