Condition
The catalogue illustration does not accurately convey the rich texture of the work. Moreover, the background tends more towards cream in the original work.
There are two light cracks visible under close inspection, one located on the top left corner of the black cross, and the other in the ocre background on the top left quadrant, parallel to the left edge.
This work is in very good condition.
