Private collection, New South Wales
Condition: This work is very good, stable and near original condition.
Ultraviolet light inspection reveals several small spots of cosmetic retouching, predominantly in the area above the figure.
The retouching corresponds with an area of old drying cracks, which are stable and only visible under UV light.
The work is housed in a decorative timber frame.
