Condition
Colour:
The colours in the catalogue illustration are fairly accurate, although the overall tonality is richer and brighter in the original.
Condition:
This work is in very good condition. Extremely close inspection reveals a few very thin and unobtrusive cracks in the white pigment towards the lower right corner. No restoration is apparent when examined under ultraviolet light.
