Condition

The canvas is not lined. There is an uneven varnish which prevents the UV light from fully penetrating but there do not appear to be any signs of retouchings visible under UV light. The canvas is very slightly undulated in places. Otherwise this work is in overall very good condition. Colours: Overall the greens, including in the yellow, are more prominent in the original when compared to the printed catalogue illustration.
