Condition

The colours are fairly accurate in the catalogue illustration although the overall tonality is slightly greener in the original work. The work is executed on its original canvas and is not relined. The surface is covered with webs of hairline, stabilized drying cracks, inherent to the medium and technique used by the artist. Under Ultra Violet light inspection there is no evidence of restoration.
