Condition

The colours are fairly acurate in the catalogue illustration although the image does not accurately convey the rich texture of the work. The work is executed on its original canvas and is not relined. Under Ultra Violet light inspection a very small dot of retouching fluoresces at the extremity of each of the four corners. This work is in very good condition.
