Condition

The colours are fairly accurate in the catalogue illustration although the image does not accurately convey the richness of the surface. The work is executed on its original canvas and is not relined. The work is protected by glass. Very close inspection reveals tiny networks of hairline drying cracks to the lighter green paint. Under Ultra Violet light inspection there is no evidence of restoration. This work is in very good condition.
