Condition Report:
Condition:
This work is in very good condition. The work would benefit from a light clean. There is no restoration apparent when viewed under the UV light.

Colour:
The catalogue illustration is fairly accurate; however there is more contrast and texture in the original work with the overall tonality being lighter where the reds, blues, greens and yellows come through stronger and separate, in particular in the lower part of the painting.
