Condition
The canvas is unlined. The tacking edge has been covered with tape, some minor rubbing to the extreme edges, probably due to prior frame abrasion. When viewed under UV light a varnish fluoresces, especially in the areas of the darker pigments, however no inpainting is apparent.
Colours: The colours are fairly accurate in the catalogue illustration.
