Condition
The canvas is not lined. There is a 10cm. line of intermittent specks of retouching above the black circle and specks of retouching at intervals along the extreme edges of the upper right corner, all visible under UV light. Apart from few fly spots towards the upper centre, this work is in good condition.
Colours: Fairly accurate although the colours are overall brighter in the original and the whites are stronger.
