Condition
Colour:
The colours in the catalogue illustration are fairly accurate although it fails to convey the metallic quality of the golden paint visible in the original.
Condition:
This work is in very good condition. Close inspection reveals some evidence of frame rubbing in places along the edges, with some associated specks of loss to the gold paint, which is in keeping with the artist's choice of media. Further very close inspection reveals two small networks of unobtrusive hairline cracks to the thicker area of gold paint on the upper half of the composition, both of which appear to be stable. No restoration is apparent when examined under ultraviolet light.
