Condition

The colours are fairly accurate in the catalogue illustration although the green is less bright in the original work. The work is executed on its original canvas and is not relined. Some cracks are located throughout the composition, on the dark and orange thick impastos, some of which have resulted in paint losses that have been carefully restored and stabilized. Under Ultra Violet light inspection, some of these restorations fluoresce.
