Condition

Colour: The colours in the catalogue illustration are fairly accurate. Condition: This work is in very good and original condition. Very close inspection reveals a short crack in the thick black pigment towards the upper edge, and some light surface dust has deposited in some of the impasto. All other surface irregularities appear to be original and in keeping with the artist's choice of medium and working process.
