Condition

Colour: The colours in the catalogue illustration are fairly accurate. Condition: This work is in very good condition. Very close inspection reveals some thin and unobtrusive tension cracks running intermittently along the extreme outer edges, and a minute and unobtrusive speck of paint loss to one of the impasto peaks towards the centre of the lower left quadrant. No restoration is apparent when examined under ultraviolet light.
