Condition
The overall tonality is brighter in the original work than in the catalogue illustration.
The work is executed on its original canvas and is not relined.
There are three networks of stabilized hairline cracks, located on the lower right and lower left quadrants, as well as 61 cm from the upper edge and 55 cm from the left. Moreover, few very thin hairline cracks are only visible under very close inspection, one located 18 cm from the upper edge and 75 cm from the left, another 21 cm from the upper edge and 100 cm from the left, and finally on the black impasto, 27 cm from the upper edge and 60 cm from the left.
Under Ultra Violet light inspection, there is no evidence of restoration.
This work is in very good condition.
