Condition
The canvas is not lined and UV examination reveals no evidence of retouching. There is a small localised area of very minor craquelure to the pink pigment towards the upper right corner with a few associated minute paint losses. Otherwise, this work is in overall very good condition.
Colours: overall fairly accurate in the printed catalogue, though the red in the background is slightly more pink in the original.
