Condition

The colours are fairly accurate in the catalogue illustration although the blue is brighter and the purple tends slightly more towards blue in the original work. Moreover, the background is whiter. The work is executed on its original canvas and is not relined. Some slight rub marks located on each of the four corners and on the lower left quadrant, on the blue paint are only visible under close inspection. One carefully restored tear to the canvas (4 cm) located 33 cm from the right edge and 56 cm from the upper edge is visible under close inspection.
