Condition
The colors are fairly accurate in the catalogue illustration although the overall tonality is more subdued in the original work.
As visible in the catalogue illustration, few original traces of wear are located on the blue painting of the chair.
Due to the natural aging of the wax, light discoloration of the candles is visible in the catalogue illustration.
This work is in very good original condition.
