Condition
The colours are fairly accurate in the catalogue illustration, although the overall tonality is more vivid and the light background is more creamy in the original.
The work is laid down on its original canvas.
Except a thin crack located along the upper edge, 24 cm from the extremity of the upper right corner, only visible under very close inspection, this work is in excellent condition.

Catalogue Note
"Non seulement la réalité existe mais en aucun cas elle ne doit être purement et simplement rejetée. On ne fait que réinventer ce qui est, restituer en nuances d'émotion la réalité qui s'est incorporée à la matière, à la forme, à la couleur."
