Condition

Colour: The colours in the catalogue illustration are fairly accurate although the overall tonality is richer and more vibrant in the original. Condition: This work is in very good condition. Extremely close inspection reveals a few pinhead-sized spots of loss to some of the impasto peaks as well as evidence of tiny media accretions caught in some isolated impasto peaks. No restoration is apparent when examined under ultraviolet light.
