Condition

The catalogue illustration is faithful to the painting. The canvas is unlined but is still effective and tight. Two small holes are present loer right, as visible in the catalogue. The discoloured varnish is quite thick and reflects UV light but a few minor retouchings do flouresce. Overall in good condition. A new varnish would improve the overall tonality. Offered in a later gilt wood frame with minor chips.
