Condition

There is a small area of craquelure within the upper left corner and towards the centre of the right edge. There are inconsistencies in the blue section of the work, where various lines and two patches of a darker shade of blue are visible. The surface of the work is slightly dirty. The edges and corners of the work bear minor scuffs. The work is presented unframed. Inspection under ultra violet light reveals a spot of retouching in the upper left corner, and the various lines and two spots within the blue section fluoresce very slightly.
