Condition
The colours are fairly accurate in the catalogue illustration although the yellow is slightly brighter and the overall tonality is warmer in the original work.
The work is executed on its original canvas and is not relined.
Some scattered hairline cracks and few pinhead sized paint losses located mainly on the yellow areas are visible under close inspection.
Under Ultra Violet light inspection, there is no evidence of restoration.
This work is in good original condition.
