Condition
The colours are fairly accurate in the catalogue illustration although the blue is lighter and more luminous in the original work. Moreover, the image does not fully convey the texture of the work.
The work is executed on its original canvas and is not relined.
Under Ultra Violet light inspection, three areas of retouching fluoresce, one located along the right edge, 10 cm from the upper edge, the other along the upper edge and the left corner and finally by the lower right corner.
This work is in very good condition.
