Condition
The canvas is not lined. There are intermittent lines of retouching to the outlines of the onions and to the red band running across the tablecloth, all visible under UV light. Apart from a 2cm. sq. area of thin lines of retouching to the left of the onions, this work is in fairly good condition.
Colours: The reds are more subtle and the colours more muted in the original.
