Condition

The colours are fairly accurate in the catalogue illustration although the image does not convey the silver background, which appears grey. The work is executed on its original canvas and is not relined. Three tiny areas of hairline cracks located in the ochre paint on the right side of the work are visibly only under very close inspection. Under Ultra Violet light inspection there is no evidence of restoration. This work is in very good condition.
