Condition

Condition: This work is in good condition. There is minor discoloration of the varnish throughout due to age which can be resolved with minor cleaning of the canvas. There is also very minor flaking, along a 5cm. thin line in the centre. There is no restoration visible under the UV light. Colour: The catalogue illustration is accurate but the overall tonality is less red overall in the original work.
