Condition

Colour: The colours in the catalogue illustration are fairly accurate, although the overall tonality is slightly brighter and more vibrant in the original. Condition: This work is in very good condition. There is some very light canvas draw to the upper left edge. Visible only upon very close inspection in raking light, there are some thin surface scratches and short rub marks in isolated places to the resin. Further very close inspection reveals some media accretions to the resin in isolated places, particularly towards the upper edge. No restoration is apparent when examined under ultraviolet light.
