Condition
The colours are fairly accurate in the catalogue illustration, although the overall tonality is lighter in the original.
The work is executed on its original canvas and it is not relined.
Are only visible under very close inspection:
- a thin crack to the impasto (approx. 2,5 cm) located at the extremity of the upper left corner
- a thin crack to the impasto (approx. 4,5 cm) on the overlap of the upper edge, located 10 cm from the extremity of the right edge
Also due to the artist's process, are only visible under very close inspection, a few minor losses of paint:
- one (less than 0,5cm) located at the extremity of the upper left edge
- one (1,5 x 0,5 cm) along the upper edge located 8 cm from the extremity of the upper right corner
- a few pinhead sized losses of paint located along the rim of the lower part of the left edge
- a tiny loss of paint (less than 0,5 cm) located 16 cm from the right edge and 41 cm from the lower edge
- a small area of light and superficial abrasion (approx. 6 x 2,5 cm) located 5 cm from the lower edge and 8 cm from the left edge
Under UV light, there is no evidence of any retouching.
This work is in very good condition.
