Condition
The colours are fairly accurate in the catalogue illustration, although the overall tonality is lighter and contrast is more important in the original.
The work is executed on its original canvas and is not relined. Under UV light no trace of retouching fluoresces.
The work is in excellent condition. In the upper right corner, a tiny crack of painting is visible upon very close inspection.
