Condition

The canvas is not lined. The colours are fresh and vivid with a nice impasto. Close inspection reveals a very slight frame abrasion along the edges and a few tiny dots brown pigment located in the upper right corner, possibly inherent to the artistic process. There is no evidence of retouching under UV light. This work is in very good original condition.
