Colour: The colours in the catalogue illustration are fairly accurate, although the overall tonality is slightly warmer and richer in the original. Condition: This work is in very good condition. It is hinged to the backing board in the top two corners. There is light undulation and handling creases scattered in places throughout the composition, predominantly towards the top and bottom edges. There are two minute tears and an extremely light media accretion to the extreme left-hand edge towards the top corner, hidden by the mount. There are some extremely light pinsized flyspots scattered in some places throughout, only visible upon close inspection.
