Condition

The canvas is not lined. There is an uneven varnish which causes some areas to fluoresce under UV light. UV examination reveals a few tiny spots of retouching to the extreme left and right edges. There are some fine lines of craquelure to the white pigments. Otherwise, this work is in overall good condition. Colours: Overall fairly accurate in the printed catalogue, though the blacks are slightly more prominent in the original.
