Condition
The canvas is not lined. There is a milky varnish through which the UV light cannot fully penetrate but there is no evidence of retouching. There is some minor surface dirt in places and a small paint loss to the centre of the right edge. Otherwise this work is in overall very good condition, there is a lovely rich impasto the white and light blue pigments.
Colours: Overall fairly accurate in the printed catalogue, though slightly less pink in the original.
