Condition
This work is in very good condition. The colors are deeper and stronger than in the illustration. The canvas is slightly slack overall resulting in a light canvas draw to the lower left corner and a fine stretcher mark towards the top edge. There is minor wear to the corner tips of the canvas and in places along the bottom edge. A very fine craquelure is visible in the bottom right corner of the upper right quadrant of the composition. There is a faint 3 1/2 inch diagonal rub mark on the dense black paint in the centre of the upper left quadrant of the work. No apparent retouching.
