Colour: The colours in the catalogue illustration are fairly accurate, although the overall tonality of the original work is lighter. Condition: This work is in very good condition. There are a few very faint handling marks around the white border of the composition. There are areas of media accretion to the lower left and lower right corners and to the central area of the bottom white border. No restoration is apparent when examined under ultraviolet light.
