Condition

The colours are fairly accurate in the catalogue illustration although the overall tonality is slightly deeper in the original work. The work is executed on its original canvas and is not relined. There is one paint loss located by the left edge, 16 cm from the upper. On crack on the white impasto, located 8 cm from the left edge and 27 cm from the lower, is visible only under very close inspection. Under Ultra Violet light inspection there is no evidence of restoration. This work is in very good condition.
