Condition

Colour: The colours in the catalogue illustration are fairly accurate, although the white is lighter in the original and the colours are brighter and more vibrant in the original. Condition: This work is in very good condition. Close inspection reveals three small handling marks towards the lower left edge. There are two patches of drying cracks towards the upper right corner which appear to be original. Close inspection reveals a small number of cracks in isolated places to the thicker impasto, and there are some tiny paint loses to the extreme impasto peaks. No restoration is apparent when examined under ultraviolet light.
