Condition
The colours are fairly accurate in the printed catalogue illustration. The work is executed on its original canvas and is not relined. The upper edge presents some tiny losses in the blue and black paint close to the rim. Under ultra violet light inspection the left and upper edges close to the rims fluoresce. Scattered areas equally slightly fluoresce along the lower and right edges close to the rims. A tiny repaint is located along the lower edge and fluoresces under ultra violet light inspection. This work is in good condition.
