Condition

The colours are fairly accurate in the catalogue illustration although the white tends more towards cream in the original work. The work is executed on its original canvas and is not relined. One pigment loss on a white impasto, located 7.5 cm from the right edge and 27 cm from the lower, is only visible under very close inspection. There are two very faint scratches located at the center of the right edge, barely noticeable. Under Ultra Violet light inspection there is no evidence of restoration. This work is in very good condition.
