Condition
The colours are fairly accurate in the catalogue illustration although the green on the left side of the composition tends more towards emerald and the orange is deeper and brighter in the original work.
The work is executed on its original canvas and is not relined.
Some areas of stabilized hairline cracks are diffused around the orange sections, around the green armchair, in the center of the lower right quadrant, around the figure's head and by the left edge, all visible in the catalogue illustration. The green chair presents some stabilized cracks, visible in the catalogue illustration.
Under Ultra Violet light, about ten small dots of restoration fluoresce throughout the canvas.
