Condition
The canvas is lined and slightly undulating. There is a milky varnish preventing UV light from fully penetrating. However, it appears to be spots of retouching in places, notably along the right edge and towards the centre of the lower edge, in the light blue shape in the lower right quadrant, in the orange and blue pigments in the upper right quadrant and in the black, grey and pink shapes towards the centre of the composition. There are thin lines of stable craquelure throughout the composition. This work is in overall good condition.
