Condition
Condition: This work is in good condition. There is very light craquelure on the upper right corner and few tiny specs of paint loss on centre right with very small white paint spots only visible upon closer inspection. The canvas would benefit being re-stretched. There is some light restoration visible on the outer edges of the work, more visible under the UV light. Colour: The colours in the catalogue illustration are accurate, with the overall tonality of the work being less yellow in the original work.
