Condition
Colour:
The colours in the catalogue illustration are fairly accurate although the overall tonality is brighter and more vibrant with greater saturation to the hues overall in the original.
Condition:
This work is in very good condition. Stretcher marks are visible running parallel to the four edges and across the central horizontal axis of the composition. There are a number of fine and unobtrusive surface cracks scattered in places throughout the composition, notably around the four extreme edges and in places around the stretcher marks. On very close examination there are a few minute scattered media loses, including: above the centre of the left extreme edge and to the lower part of the left extreme edge. There is a small network of fine cracks to the centre of the upper part of the composition. A small canvas protrusion is visible to the lower centre of the lower right quadrant to the right of the figure which is resulted in a small media loss and an associated flaking. No restoration is apparent when examined under ultra-violet light.
