Condition

This work is in good condition. Some light craquelures can be noticed across the painting. Some signs of stretching marks to the right and left edges of the canvas are noticeable, this is due to the way the canvas has been placed on the stretcher. A 2cm small black hairline residue of a brush is noticeable to the upper left section of the painting inherent to the artists creative process. The colours in the catalogue illustration are accurate, with the overall tonality being slightly softer in the original work.
