Condition
The colors are fairly accurate in the catalogue illustration although the background colors (especially the blue and the green colors) are more contrasted in the original work.
The mounting on the panel was executed by the artist and the upper edge is irregularly cut.
Under close inspection, few pinhead sized holes are visible in the upper right and left corner. Few light stains are visible in the margin (also visible on the catalogue illustration).
Under very close inspection, two superficial scratches are visible in the lower right quadrant :
- one located at 13 cm from the left and 3 cm from the top,
- one located at 21 cm from the left and 1 cm from the top.
