Condition

The colours are fairly accurate in the catalogue illustration although the overall tonality is lighter and less contrasted in the original work. The work is executed on its original canvas and is not relined. There are hairline, stabilized cracks located on the blue impasto, visible under close inspection. Under Ultra Violet light inspection there is no evidence of restoration. This work is in very good condition.
