Condition
Executed on a thin-weave fabric, laid down on cream wove paper which is irregularly cut (a piece of restorer's paper is supporting the paper on the upper left corner). There are traces of paper on the extreme edges, due to previous mounting and not visible when framed. The colours are fresh and vibrant and this work is in overall very good condition.
