Condition
The canvas is lined. UV examination reveals a small horizontal line of retouching towards the upper corner. There are some fine lines of craquelure in places and some minor frame rubbing to parts of the extreme edges. Otherwise, this work is in overall good condition.
Colours: fairly accurate in the printed catalogue, though overall slightly lighter in the original.
