Condition
Colours: The colours are fairly accurate in the catalogue, although the originals are slightly less saturated. The overall tonality is warmer in the original. The lemon-yellow tends towards saffron in the original.
Condition: This work is in very good condition. Artists's pinholes are visible upon close inspection at the four corners of the sheet of paper. The sketch traces under the colour layers are more contrasted in the original, although they would appear to be inherent to the artist's working process. Some slight retouchings are visible in the blue portion of the lower right part of the work.
