Condition

Colour: The colour in the printed catalogue is fairly accurate, although the overall tonality is slightly lighter in the original. Condition: This work is very good condition. Extremely close inspection reveals some minute media accretions in isolated places and some very faint rub marks to the left hand corner tips. Further extremely close inspection reveals a very short and faint crack to the pale pink pigment in the upper centre left of the composition. No restoration is apparent when examined under ultra-violet light.
