Condition

Colours: The colours are fairly accurate in the catalogue illustration, although the overall tonality is warmer and richer in the original. Condition: The work is in excellent condition. The canvas is original and is not lined. Two slight paint losses are visible upon close inspection (approximately 1,5 mm in the lower left quadrant ; approx. 3 mm in the upper left quadrant, which would be inherent to the frame abrasion). No trace of restoration is visible under ultraviolet light.
