Condition
The colours are fairly accurate in the printed catalogue illustration although the overall tonality is less contrasted. The work is executed on its original canvas and is not relined. The red area in the upper left corner presents some very minor stabilised hairline cracks. The white area close to the upper edge includes several thin carefully consolidated cracks that fluoresce under Ultra Violet Light inspection, most of which are visible in the catalogue illustration. A minor paint loss is located in the orange area close to the upper edge. This work is in very good condition.
