Condition

The canvas is not lined. There are a few small areas of retouching throughout the composition including a 1cm. sq. area towards the centre of the upper edge, a few small spots to the lower left corner, a spot to the light green area in the lower centre and a small spot to the right of the lower edge. These retouchings are visible under UV light. There are a few areas of fluoresence under UV light due to the uneven nature of the varnish. Apart from some light craquelure in areas, this work is in good condition. Colours: Fairly accurate in the printed catalogue.
