Condition
The colours are fairly accurate in the catalogue illustration although the overall tonality is slightly brighter and more contrasted in the original work.
The work is executed on its original canvas and is not relined.
Right panel: minor paint losses located along the upper edge and one located on the tip of an impasto, 10 cm from the right edge and 8 cm from the lower edge, are only visible under very close inspection.
Under Ultra Violet light inspection, the upper and lower left corners as well as two white impastos (one located 3 cm from the left edge and 35 cm from the lower edge and the other 30 cm from the upper edge and 31 cm from the right edge) fluoresce.
Left panel: Under Ultra Violet light inspection, the upper edge and three out of the four corners fluoresce. A dark green impasto (located 10 cm from the upper edge and 12 cm from the left edge) and a small area (1.5 cm, located 40 cm from the lower edge and 40 cm from the left edge) fluoresce.
This work is in very good condition overall.
