Condition

Colour: The colours in the catalogue illustration are fairly accurate, although the overall tonality is brighter and more vibrant in the original. Condition: This work is in very good condition. It is sandwiched between the mount and the backing board. There is extremely light craquelure in some places to the red pigment, visible only under very close inspection.
