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 are some stabilized cracks located mainly on the thicker black impastos, on the lower half of the work. The lower half of the work presents a few drops of binder, visible in the catalogue illustration and inherent to the artist's technique.
Under Ultra Violet light inspection there is no evidence of restoration.
This work is in very good condition.
