Condition
Colour:
The colours in the catalogue illustration are fairly accurate, although the overall tonality is more saturated in the original and the blue tends more towards an IKB blue.
Condition: This work is in very good condition. There is some minor canvas draw to the upper left and lower right corners. Close inspection in raking light reveals a few unobtrusive rub marks in isolated places. There is evidence of a tiny impact to the left edge, approximately 50 cm. from the upper left corner. No restoration is apparent when examined under ultraviolet light.
