Condition
The canvas is not lined. There are three surface scartches to the lefthand area, all with some associated tiny specks of paint loss and tiny retouchings visible under UV light. UV examination reveals some further scattered very small spots of retouching to the lower left quadrant. There is some intermittent frame abrasion to parts of the left edge and some fine lines of craquelure in places. Otherwise, this work is in overall good condition.
Colours: the brown area is much pinker and the orange much brighter in the original when compared with the printed catalogue.
