Condition
Condition: This work is in good condition. The dark red paint has mostly flaked off due to the artist's choice of medium. There is extremely light, barely visible craquelure in few spots. The work would benefit from a very light clean. There is no restoration visible under the UV light.
Colour: The catalogue illustration is very accurate. There is more texture and less contract visible in the original work.
