Condition

Colours: The colours in the catalogue illustration are fairly accurate although the overall tonality is darker. Condition: This work is in very good condition. There is one tiny spot of paint loss in the lower right corner (as can be seen in the catalogue) situated 13 cm. from the right edge and 8 cm. from the lower edge. Some light buckling of the canvas in the upper left corner. Examination under ultraviolet light reveals some minor retouches in the lower right corner.
