Condition
The colours are fairly accurate in the catalogue's illustration, although they are more vivid in the original work and the illustration does not fully convey the colours contrast.
The work is executed on its original canvas and is not relined.
A few hairline cracquelures located especially along the edges and in the impasto are only visible under close-up inspection.
Under UV light, there is no evidence of any retouching.
This work is in excellent condition.
