Condition

The colours are fairly accurate in the catalogue illustration although the tonality is deeper in the original work, especially the cream background. The work is executed on its original canvas and is not relined. The edges present marks from an old frame. There is a small dent located on the lower half of the work, at the center. The lower half of the right edge presents a staple mark. Under Ultra Violet light inspection there is no evidence of restoration. This work is in very good original condition.
