Condition
Colour: The colour in the catalogue illustration is fairly accurate, although the overall tonality is cooler and has less magenta undertones in the original Condition: This work is in very good and original condition. A superficial layer of dust has adhered to the surface of the work in places. Extremely close inspection reveals some hairline drying cracks in isolated places throughout. Very close inspection reveals two tiny specks of loss in the black pigment towards the upper centre right of the composition and some tiny chips, specks of loss and media accretion to the artist's frame. No restoration is apparent when examined under ultraviolet light.
