Condition

The canvas is not lined and UV examination reveals no evidence of retouching. There are some fine lines of craquelure throughout and some tiny paint losses in places. There is some light frame rubbing to the extreme edges and some surface dirt in places. This work would benefit from a clean. Otherwise, this work is in overall good condition. Colours: fairly accurate in the printed catalogue, though overall slightly less saturated in the original.
