Condition
The canvas is not lined and there do not appear to be any signs of retouching visible under UV light. There are artist's pinholes at all four corners. There is some surface dirt and this work could benefit from a clean. Otherwise, this work is in very good condition.
Colours: Overall fairly accurate in the printed catalogue though the whites are brighter in the original.
