Condition

The catalogue illustration looks a bit too green compared to reality. Respectable overall condition. The canvas has been relined (a bit strong). There is an important restoration in the lower part, visible to the naked eye and in the catalogue (lighter areas), in the floor, around and in the pink drapery. Under ultraviolet light: An important restoration in the lower part as mentioned above and probably due to the paint having moved a little bit. A small retouche in the middle of the back of the dog.
