Provenance
Private Collection, France
Condition
The canvas is not lined and there do not appear to be any signs of retouching visible under UV light. There is some surface dirt to some of the more heavily impasto areas and this work would benefit from a clean. Otherwise this work is in overall very good condition.
Colours: Fairly accurate in the printed catalogue, though overall brighter, particularly the purples in the original.
