Condition
The canvas is not lined and there is no evidence of retouching under UV light. There is some very minor paint shrinkage and some fine lines of craquelure in places. Otherwise, this work is in overall very good condition and there is a lovely rich impasto surface.
Colours: overall much brighter in the original when compared with the printed catalogue.
