Condition
The colours are fairly accurate in the catalogue illustration, although the overall tonality is brighter in the original.
The work is executed on its original canvas, not relined.
The canvas is slightly loose.
Due to the artist's process, few hairline cracks to the impasto, some of them carefullly stabilized, are only visible under very close inspection.
This work is in very good condition.
