Condition
The canvas is not lined. There are areas of retouching to the sky, and some further flecks to the extreme edges. These retouchings are visible under UV light. There are some unobtrusive fine lines of paint shrinkage to the brown pigment above the wall. Otherwise, the work is in overall good condition.
Colours: Much more vibrant and fresher in the original compared to the printed catalogue.
