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.
