Condition
The canvas is not lined and there appear to be no signs of retouching visible under UV light. Apart from a few tiny fly spots to the upper half of the work, this is in good original condition.
Colours: Overall fairly accurate in the catalogue illustration, although brighter and crisper in the original.
