Condition

The colours are fairly accurate in the catalogue illustration although the overall tonality is brighter in the original work. The work is executed on its original canvas and is not relined. There is a faint wear on the upper right corner, and a tiny dent at the center of the composition, close to the yellow triangle. Under Ultra Violet light inspection there is no evidence of restoration. This work is in very good condition.
