Condition
The colours are fairly accurate in the catalogue illustration although the overall tonality is less contrasted in the original work.
The work is executed on its original canvas and is not relined.
There are superficial light cracks located mainly on the center of the composition, visible under close inspection. The white edges present light traces of dirt. There are two small tears to the canvas (1 cm and 1.5 cm) located on the upper left quadrant and the other close to the left edge, at the center, visible under close inspection.
Under Ultra Violet light inspection there is no evidence of restoration.
This work is in good condition overall.
