Condition

The canvas is not lined and there do not appear to be any signs of retouching visible under UV light. There is a slightly uneven varnish and there are some scattered spots of surface bloom in places. This work would benefit from a light clean. Otherwise this work is in overall good condition. Colours: fairly accurate in the printed catalogue, though overall slightly brighter and fresher in the original.
