Condition
The colours are fairly accurate in the catalogue illustration, although the overall tonality is redless in the original.
The work is executed on its original canvas and is not relined. Under UV light, two traces (1 cm) of retouching are visible along the lower left edge, as well as in the upper right quarter area (approx. 3 cm).
The work is in very good condition.
