Condition

The burlap canvas is not lined and UV examination reveals a few tiny specks of retouching to the upper part of the extreme left edge. There are a few tiny paint losses in places, most prominently to the blue towards the upper left corner and to the right part of the extreme lower right edge. There are some fine lines of craquelure in places. Otherwise, this work is in overall very good conditon. Colours: Overall fairly accurate in the printed catalogue, though slightly less saturated in the original.
