Condition
Colour:
The colours in the catalogue illustration are fairly accurate, although the overall tonality is brighter and more vibrant in the original, with the flesh tones tending more to a light salmon-pink and the shirt tending more to true orange.
Condition:
This work is in very good condition. There are two small rub marks to the top of the left and right extreme overturn edges. There are two minute specks of paint loss to the top right extreme corner tip. Some very light wear can be noticed upon close inspection of the four extreme corner tips.
No restoration is apparent when examined under ultraviolet light.
