Condition Report

Colour: The colour in the catalogue illustration is fairly accurate, although the lilac in the top right hand corner is lighter in the original. Condition: This work is in very good condition. Very close inspection reveals a few short hairline drying cracks in the top right hand corner and three unobtrusive scratches to the black pigment in the lower right hand corner. No restoration is apparent when examined under ultra-violet light.
