Condition

Colour: The colours in the catalogue illustration are fairly accurate, although they are slightly brighter and more vibrant in the original. Condition: This work is in very good condition. Close inspection reveals some minor wear towards the upper right edge and lower left corners. There is some light surface dirt to the white background, with some associated differences in tonality. There are a few tiny white paint splashes towards the upper and lower centre of the composition that are possibly original. No restoration is apparent when examined under ultraviolet light.
