Condition

The canvas is not lined and there appear to be no signs of retouching visible under UV light. Apart from a minor ridge running horizontally across the lower centre of the composition, probably inherent to the support, this work is in good original condition. Colours: Overall fairly accurate in the printed catalogue, although the contrasts are stronger in the original.
