Condition

The colours are fairly accurate in the catalogue illustration, although the green located along the upper edge and in the lower part tends toward blue in the illustration. The work is executed on its original canvas and is not relined. Thin cracks to the impasto located in the lower part of the work are visible under very close inspection. Under UV light, there is no evidence of any retouching. This work is in excellent condition.
