Condition

It has not been possible to see the work entirely unframed. The canvas is not lined. There is a milky varnish preventing UV light from fully penetrating, however examination under UV light appears to reveal no evidence of retouching. There is a pinhole towards the centre of the upper edge. There are a few thin lines of stable craquelure, most predominately in the upper green and pink shapes. There is some frame rubbing along the extreme edges. This work is in overall good condition.
