Condition
This work is in good original condition. The catalogue illustration is fairly accurate overall although the brown pigments are slightly less dark. The canvas is not lined. A close inspection reveals some stable hairline craquelure towards the left edge and below a shallow indent in the red pigment to the upper right of the centre of the composition. There is no evidence of retouching visible under UV light.
