Condition

The colours are fairly accurate in the catalogue illustration although the overall tonality is brighter in the original work. Moreover, the upper half of the work tends more towards cream. This work was inspected framed. A minor paintloss (approx. 0.3 mm) located 15 cm from the right edge and 20 cm from the lower edge is visible under very close inspection. Minor web of cracks (approx. 3 cm) located 16 cm from the upper edge and 6 cm from the right edge is only visible under close inspection. This work is in very good condition.
