Condition

The colours are fairly accurate in the catalogue illustration although the overall tonality is less contrasted in the original work. The work is executed on its original canvas and is not relined. Two thin horizontal cracks located on the lower right quadrant are only visible under very close inspection. The rim of the lower and right edges each present a small paint loss. Under Ultra Violet light inspection there is no evidence of restoration. This work is in very good condition.
