Condition

The canvas is not lined.There are three 1cm. sq. spots of retouching, with associated nailhead-sized spots surrounding them, at intervals along the top edge. There is a line of retouching to the top of the left edge, caused by previous frame-rubbing and some minor spots of retouching towards the right edge. All retouching is visible under UV light. This work is in good condition. Colours: Overall fairly accurate although the colours are stronger and more contrasting in the original, especially in the greens.
