Condition
The work was executed on its original canvas and is not relined. The colours in the printed catalogue illustration are fairly accurate although the overall tonality is less pink than in the original workand the illustration does not convey some of the colour nuances. There are light wear marks, certainly due to former framing, located along the edges. There is no evidence of restoration under Ultra Violet Light inspection. This work is in very good condition.
