Condition

The canvas is not lined and there are no signs of retouching visible under UV light. There is a spot of paint loss towards the top left corner in the white, surrounded by some small lines of craquelure, all of which appears to have been professionally stabilised. Overall this work is in good conditon. Colours: Much richer and stronger in the original - the catalogue illustration appears 'washed out'.
