Condition

The canvas is not lined. There are some small lines of paint loss with associated retouching on the upper edge near the left corner, possibly due to frame rubbing, a 5cm. line towards the centre of the upper edge and two small spots and a 3cm. line towards the top right corner. All retouching is visible under UV light. Apart from three nailhead-sized spots of retouching in the lower right quadrant, this work is in good condition. Colours: Slightly more muted in the original and the reds and yellows are more subtle.
