Condition
The painting is in good condition, as is the panel, which is free from cracking or warping. Examination under ultraviolet light reveals no indication of retouching. Minor rub mark is present on the upper right, near the top edge and right edge. Paint layers are otherwise well-preserved and in good condition.
The colours of the catalogue illustration are too yellow. The actual painting is overall deeper, richer and more vivid in reality.
