Condition
Colour: The colours in the catalogue illustration are fairly accurate, although the overall tonality is brighter in the original.
Condition: This work is in very good condition. There are three fine and stable networks of craquelure: one towards the centre of the right edge and the other two to the lower centre of the work. Examination under ultraviolet light reveals three small areas of restoration along the bottom edge: one to the left centre, one to the centre and one to the right centre.
