Condition

The colours are fairly accurate in the printed catalogue illustration. The rim is covered by the frame. The work is executed on its original canvas and is not relined. Faint wear marks are located along the edges. The signature and date in the lower right corner have faded and are barely visible without Ultra Violet Light inspection. With the exception of carefully restored small areas that are located along the upper- and right edge of the canvas, some of which fluoresce under Ultra Violet Light inspection, this work is in very good condition.
