Condition
The board is very slightly bowed. There are some flecks of retouching visible under UV light along the left edge, probably due to previous frame rubbing. There is a small fleck of paint loss to the top left corner, barely visible when framed and there are a few frame abrasions to the surface mainly at the edges, including two fine lines to the extreme lower edge. There is a further thin 2cm. vertical scratch towards the centre right background, probably inherent to the artist's process. Otherwise, this work is in overall good condition.
Colours: overall fairly accurate in the printed catalogue, although the colours are slightly fresher in the original.
