Condition
The canvas is not lined and there are no signs of retouching visibly under UV light. There are some small spots of fluorescence to the upper and lower right quadrants caused by a particular green pigment. There is a minor hole to the canvas in the upper right corner, not visible when framed, caused by a protrusion from the stretcher. Apart from a few very light spots of frame rubbing, running at intervals along the edges and to all four corners, this work is in very good condition.
Colours: Overall accurate, although the yellow tones are slightly richer in the original.
