Condition
The colours are fairly accurate in the catalogue illustration although the overall tonality tends more towards green in the original work.
The varnish has disappeared in some areas of the work, coherent with the artist's technique. There are very faint wears on the edges.
Under Ultra Violet light inspection there is no evidence of restoration.
This work is in very good condition.
