Condition

This painting is in good condition overall, as is the canvas, which is clear and taut. Paint layers are intact apart from a spot of paint loss in the lower margin, near the edge. Examination under ultraviolet light indicates no evidence of retouching. The colors in the illustrated catalogue are too dark and gray; it is much brighter and vivid in reality. Framed.
