Colour: The colours in the catalogue illustration are fairly accurate, although the background tends more towards a true white in the original. Condition: This work is in very good condition. There is evidence of light wear and handling to the extreme outer edges and corner tips, not affecting the main image. Close inspection reveals that the canvas is slightly slack and there are two very faint and unobtrusive diagonal raised lines towards the lower right corner. No restoration is apparent when examined under ultraviolet light.
