Condition

There is some craquelure visible in the catalogue illustration due to the drying process of the paint layer upper right and lower left. There are pin-holes by the corners. There are tiny paint losses by the lower right corner and to the center of the lower edge. The painting has been relined. Under UV light is visible a retouching due to an old restore by the lower central area of the canvas.
