Condition
The canvas is not lined. There appear to be no signs of retouching visible under UV light. There is a tiny paint loss to the centre of the extreme upper edge. There are some very fine lines of craquelure in places. Otherwise, this work is in overall good condition.
Colours: overall fairly accurate in the printed catalogue, although the colours are slightly richer in the original.
