Condition
Colour: The colours in the catalogue description are fairly accurate. Condition: This work is in very good condition. Close inspection reveals some small drying cracks in places. Further close inspection reveals some small and unobtrusive media accretions. There is a small surface irregularity towards the lower left corner, and a tiny puncture towards the lower centre of the composition. No restoration is apparently when examined under ultraviolet light.
