Condition
The colours are fairly accurate in the catalogue illustration although they are more intense in the original work, especially the greens and yellows.
The work is executed on its original canvas and is not relined. Few stabilized scattered thin cracks inherent to the artist's process are only visible under very close inspection. Thin cracks located in a small area on the upper left quadrant - 25 cm from the left edge and 20 cm from the upper edge - are only visible under close inspection. A pinhead sized paint loss is located 67 cm from the lower edge and 59 cm from the right edge.
Under UV light, there is no evidence of any retouching.
This work is in excellent condition.
