Condition

Oil on board, laid down on cradled panel. The board is stable. There is a thick varnish preventing the UV light from fully penetrating, but there do not appear to be any signs of retouching. Otherwise, this work is in overall good condition. Colours: overall fairly accurate in the printed catalogue, though the white and brown pigments are slightly more saturated in the original.
