This work is in good condition. Upon close inspection, 5 minuscule paint chips on the top right edge of the canvas are noticeable. Another pinhole size chip to lower left edge of the composition. Some sign of wear across upper edge of the canvas. Very small patches of craquelure to the varnish on the bottom left of the composition.
The colours in the catalogue illustration are fairly accurate, with the overall tonality being lighter.
