Condition

The canvas is not lined and there is no evidence of retouching under UV light. Close inspection reveals some very minor shrinkage to the purple pigment in the upper right quadrant. Otherwise, this work is in very good original condition. Colours: fairly accurate in the printed catalogue though slightly stronger and brighter in the original.
