Condition
The colours are fairly accurate in the catalogue illustration although the overall tonality is slightly deeper in the original work.
The ink used to outline the woman's body has faded with time, coherent with the technique. There are pinholes in the lower and upper left corners, visible only under very close inspection. There is a tiny paint loss located on a white impasto, by the lower edge.
