Condition
Colours:
The colours in the catalogue illustration are fairly accurate.
Condition:
This work is in very good and original condition. Very close inspection reveals some light wear in places along the edges with a few associated specks of superficial loss and some drying cracks to the thinner, superficial layers of paint in places throughout the composition, all of which are stable. All other surface irregularities are likely to be original. No restoration is apparent when examined under ultraviolet light.
