Condition
The canvas is not lined. UV examination reveals some scattered very small flecks of retouching in places, mainly to the lower left corner and to the background above the bouquet. Otherwise, this work is in overall good condition.
Colours: fairly accurate in the printed catalogue, though overall slightly more contrast in the original.
