Condition
Please note that this work is a collage: the central motif is oil on canvas, laid down on a wood panel background that has been painted white. The white background is more creamy and nuanced than in the catalogue illustration. There are some scattered areas of retouching in the green pigments and a vertical line of retouching on the white panel near the centre of the upper edge, visible to the naked eye, but barely visible in the catalogue illustration. This work is otherwise in good condition.
