Condition

Please note that the work was inspected framed. The colours are fairly accurate in the printed catalogue illustration although the overall tonality is softer in the original work. The left and right edges of the work are unevenly cut. There are pinholes visible along all four edges. The upper quadrant presents very minor cracks in the thickest layer of black and red paint, visible under very close inspection only. This work is in very good condition.
