Condition

Colours: The colours in the catalogue illustration are fairly accurate although the overall tonality is more vibrant in the original. Condition: This work is in good condition. Some buckling to the canvas at the lower left and upper left corners and some faint hairline cracks in the whites are visible. Examination under ultraviolet light reveals some tiny spots of retouches along the extreme edges.
