Condition
The canvas is not lined. There is some light frame abrasion, mainly to the left and lower edges. There is a layer of surface dirt and discoloured varnish and the work would benefit from a clean. Otherwise this work is in overall good condition.
Colours: overall fairly accurate in the printed catalogue, although the original is slightly more subtle.
