Condition

Both painting and panel are in good condition, with the latter being free from warping and cracks. Examination under ultraviolet light reveals retouching on the upper right and lower right corners. Apart from a small speck of paint loss in the sky on the upper right, the paint layers are well-preserved and in stable condition. The colour of the actual painting are more peachy than that of the catalogue illustration, which is slightly too blue.
