Condition
This work is in very good condition. There is evidence of light wear and rubbing to the edges of the canvas, which has resulted in a slight discoloration to the color at the lateral edges of the canvas. Under ultra-violet light inspection, there is no evidence of inpainting. Please note that the color of the canvas is a magenta pink, and not as red as it appears in the catalogue illustration. Framed in Plexiglas box.
