Condition
The canvas is not lined and there do not appear to be any signs of retouching visible under UV light. There are a few scattered tiny paint losses in places, most prominently to some of the green foliage in the centre of the composition. There is a thin line scuff mark to the lower part of the right edge. Otherwise this work is in overall good original condition.
Colours: overall fairly accurate in the printed catalogue.
