The colours are fairly accurate in the catalogue illustration, although the overall tonality is lighter and the blue and yellow are more vivid in the original work. The precise technique used by the artist is described by him on the reverse of the canvas. Few light superficial wears located near the lower edge close to the rim have resulted in tiny pigment losses. Under very close inspection, there are few light superficial scratches scattered on the matt surface. This work is very good condition.
