Condition
The canvas is not lined but appears to have been primed on the reverse by the artist. There is a minor line of craquelure to the lower left hand edge (not visible when framed). There appear to be no evidence of retouching visible under UV light. This work appears to be in very good original condition.
Colours in the catalogue are overall fairly accurate.
