Condition
Colour:
The colours in the catalogue illustration are fairly accurate, although the hints of green and blue are brighter in the original.
Condition:
This work is in very good condition. Close inspection reveals some media accretions in isolated places, which appear to be in keeping with the artist's working method. Further close inspection reveals some small and stable networks of thin drying cracks in places to the white paint. No restoration is apparent when examined under ultraviolet light.
