Condition

The colours are fairly accurate in the catalogue illustration. The work is executed on its original canvas and is not relined. The surface is grainy, and there are some faint minor wear marks, few of which have resulted in pinhole sized paint losses. Under Ultra Violet light inspection, few small areas of restoration fluoresce along lower edge and upper right corner. This work is in good condition.
