Condition
The canvas is not lined and there do not appear to be any signs of retouching visible under UV light. There is an artist's pinhole to each of the four corners. There is some minor paint shrinkage to the blue pigments and some tiny paint losses to the upper left corner and a tiny paint loss to the centre of the extreme right edge. Otherwise, this work is in overall very good original condition.
Colours: overall fairly accurate in the printed catalogue.
