Condition

The colours are fairly accurate in the catalogue illustration although the overall tonality is more vivid in the original work. Moreover, the colours are deeper, especially the red brushstrokes, than in the catalogue illustration. Under UV light, minor scratch is visible under close inspection on the upper left quadrant, measuring approximately 0.3 cm. Under very close inspection a pinhead sized loss is visible near the lower left corner. This work is in excellent condition.
