Colours: The colours in the catalogue are fairly accurate although the overall tonality is softer in the original. Condition: Along the lower edge there are some spots of paint loss. The edges are worn, notably along the right edge in the middle. Examination under ultraviolet light reveals some spots of retouches in the yellow lower section of the painting, otherwise the work is in good condition.
