Condition
The colours are fairly accurate in the catalogue illustration although the image does not accurately convey the different shades visible on the upper right quadrant in the original work. The work is executed on its original canvas and is not relined. There are few tiny webs of hairline cracks on the darker paint areas, mainly on the upper half of the work. There is one area of thin, stabilized cracks located on the white paint in the center, likely due to a light restoration visible from the reverse. Under Ultra Violet light inspection there are not areas that fluoresce.This work is in good condition.
