Condition

Colour: The colour in the catalogue illustration is fairly accurate, although the overall tonality is much lighter and brighter in the original. Condition: This work is in very good condition. Very close inspection reveals some tiny rubmarks in isolated places along the upper horizontal edge and some compressed impasto peaks in isolated places. Extremely close inspection reveals a few minute specks of loss towards the centre left of the compostion. No restoration is apparent when examind under ultra-violet light.
