Condition
Colour:
The colours in the catalogue illustration are fairly accurate, although the overall tonality is slightly brighter in the original, with the flesh tones tending more to bubble gum pink.
Condition:
This work is in very good condition. Some fine unobtrusive dust fibres have adhered to the work's surface in a few places. There are several small scattered light brown stains present to the work's surface, notably to the lower right quadrant and beneath the figure's chin. No restoration is apparent when examined under ultraviolet light.
