Condition

Colour: The colours in the catalogue illustration are fairly accurate although the overall tonality is slightly cooler and lighter in the original. Condition: This work is in very good condition. Close inspection reveals some tiny media accretions in isolated places throughout and evidence of handling along the edges. Extremely close inspection reveals a tiny speck of loss toward the centre of the bottom edge and three minute spots of drying cracks; one towards the centre of the upper edge; one towards the centre right of the composition and one to the centre of the upper right quadrant. No restoration is apparent when examined under ultra violet light.
