Condition

The canvas is not lined. There is some very thin stable craquelure in the upper right quadrant. Under ultra-violet light, there are some scattered small areas of fluorescence, located in the upper left corner and toward the centre of the left and lower edges, which could possibly be retouching. There is a thick varnish which prevents further examination. This work is in good condition. Colours: Overall the colours are slightly brighter in the original. The yellows are richer.
