Condition
Colour:
The colour in the catalogue illustration is fairly accurate, although the overall tonality is slightly bluer in the original.
Condition:
This work is in very good condition. Very close inspection reveals a few spots of media stuck to the surface and two very fine hairline cracks; one to the black pigment in the upper centre of the composition and one in the white pigment to the centre right of the composition. No restoration is apparent when examined under ultra-violet light.
