Condition

All retouching is visible under UV light. Apart from some light craquelure with an associated pinhead-sized spot of paint loss towards the centre of the work and some minor paint shrinkage, mainly to the lower right quadrant and a stretcher mark running vertical to the centre, this work is in good condition. Colours: The colours are overall less red and the tones are stronger and more subtle in the original.
