Condition
The canvas is not lined and there do not appear to be any retouchings visible under UV light. There is light wear to the extreme edges with small canvas losses to the upper left and two lower corners. There are a few scattered tiny paint losses in places, mainly towards the edges. There is an uneven varnish which fluoresces in places under UV light. Otherwise this work is in overall very good condition and has a lovely rich surface.
Colours are overall fairly accurate in the printed catalogue.
