Condition
The colours are fairly accurate in the catalogue illustration although the overall tonality is slightly brighter in the original work.
The canvas is very slightly undulated on the lower right corner. Two very small areas of hairline cracks (one located 14.5 cm from the left edge and 16.5 from the upper, and the other 21 cm from the left and 46 cm from the lower) are only visible under very close inspection.
Under Ultra Violet light inspection, one small dot of retouching located 22 cm from the right edge and 31 cm from the lower fluoresces.
This work is in very good condition.
