Condition

The painting is in good condition. The canvas has been strip-lined for stretching purposes and is clear, taut and in good condition. Examination under ultraviolet light reveals no indication of retouching. There are 3 very light, hairline surface scratches on the upper right corner, but the paint layers are otherwise intact and in fine condition. The colour tone of the catalogue illustration are quite accurate, although the painting is slightly warmer and more intense in reality, particularly the red and brown. The blue is more muted in the actual painting.
