Condition

The colours are faiulry accurate in the catalogue illsutration, although the overall tonality is lighter in the original. The work is executed on its original canvas and it is not relined. Due to the artist's process, the canvas is a bit wavy. A very few thin cracks are only visible under very close inspection. Under UV light, there is no evidence of any retouching. This work is in excellent condition.
