Condition
The canvas has been lined with glue and the surface may be slightly pressed as a result. The surface is slightly dirty. A 3.5cm. line of retouching is visible under UV light to the left of the signature, this restoration appears to have some age and is visible to the naked eye. Otherwise, the work is in good condition.
Colours: Fairly accurate in the printed catalogue, although the colours are more saturated in the original.
