Condition

The canvas is not lined. An old layer of varnish makes it difficult for UV to penetrate fully. There appears to be one very small spot of retouching to the upper left quadrant visble under UV light. Otherwise, this work is in overall good condition. Colours: Fairly accurate in the printed catalogue, though overall less red in the original.
