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. The work appears to be relined. There are some spots of paint loss along the upper right edge (as can be seen in the catalogue) . A few hairline cracks in the white and yellows. Examination under ultraviolet light reveals some minor spots of retouches along the extreme edge in the green painted area. And one small spot of retouch in the extreme edge of the lower corner.
