Condition
The canvas is not lined and there are no signs of retouching under UV light. There are several small pinholes thoughout the canvas, possibly due to the thin weave of the canvas. The paint surface shows two vertical lines of raised, slightly uneven canvas, seemingly due to the support having been folded prior to use but intrinsic to the nature of the work . Apart from an uneven varnish, this work is in good condition.
Colours: Fairly accurate, although the colours are slightly brighter in the original.
