Condition
The colours of the work are fairly accurate in the catalogue illustration, although the contrast is more important in the original work.
The work is in very good condition. It has been relined. In the upper left quadrant, a trace (approx. 10 cm) fluoresces under UV light, matching some stable cracks, visible upon very close inspection.
