The colours are fairly accurate in the catalogue illustration although the overall tonality is lighter in the original. The work is executed on canvas and it is not relined. There is a few hairlines superficial cracks in the green-blue area located approx. 16 cm from the right edge and 5 cm from the lower edge only visible under very close inspection. Under UV light, six small dots of careful retouching (from 0,5 x 0,5 cm to 0,5 x 2 cm) are located along the upper edge. This work is in very good condition.
