Condition

The colours are more vivid and fresh in the original work. The work is executed on its original canvas and is not relined. Due to the artist process few lacks of paintings are visible in the upper edge near the rim. The extremities of the lower right and upper left corners are left unpainted by the artist. Under UV light inspection there is no evidence of any retouching.
