Condition

The canvas is not lined. There is a thick layer of varnish preventing the UV light from fully penetrating. However, UV examination does reveal an area of glazing varnish to the upper right corner and a few tiny spots of retouching in places, mainly towards the right edge. This work would benefit from a clean. Otherwise, this work is in overall good condition. Colours: Overall fairly accurate in the printed catalogue though the red is slightly more burgundy in the original.
