Condition

The colours are fairly accurate in the catalogue illustration although the red is brighter and more vivid, and the green more fluorescent in the original work. Moreover, the image does not convey the rich texture of the impastos. The work is executed on its original canvas and is not relined. There a few hairline, stabilized cracks located on some of the thicker impastos, visible under very close inspection. Under Ultra Violet light inspection there is no evidence of restoration. This work is in very good condition.
