Condition
The canvas is not lined. UV examination reveals retouchings along all four extreme edges and a further few scattered small spots of retouching, all of which are away from the figure itself. There is an extremely fine surface scratch to the varnish of the left part of the upper edge and a few tiny scattered paint losses to the lower right quadrant. Otherwise this work is in overall good condition.
Colours: Overall brighter in the original, particularly the background reds, when compared to the catalogue illustration.
