Condition

The colours are fairly accurate in the catalogue illustration, although the overall tonality is lighter in the original. The work is excecuted on its original canvas, not relined. Under UV light, there is no evidence of any retouching. Except a minor loss of paint (approx. 0,3 cm) located 20 cm from the upper edge and 11 cm from the left edge, only visible under very close inspection, this work is in very good condition.
