Condition
Colour: The colours in the catalogue illustration are fairly accurate, although the colours are slightly darker and there is more contrast in the original. Condition: This work is in very good condition. Extremely close inspection reveals a few tiny losses to some of the impasto peaks. No restoration is apparent when examined under ultraviolet light.
