Condition

The colours in the catalogue illustration are fairly accurate although the overall tonality is deeper and more contrasted. There is light undulation to the sheet. Extremely close inspection reveals a 4cm. semi-circular unobtrusive repaired tear to the paper located 32 cm from the left edge and 21 cm from the upper edge. The right side of the composition, 14 cm from the right edge, reveals some very small paint losses to the first layer of pigment, visible in the catalogue illustration.
