Condition
The canvas is not lined. UV light examination reveals a spot of retouching to the upper right quadrant (approx. 2cm. wide). There are a few very minor flecks of paint loss in places, predominantly to the white pigment, and some fine lines of craquelure. There is a small spot of pigment lifting to the yellow pigment towards the centre of the left edge and a small dent to the pink pigment in the upper right quadrant. There is a small repaired tear visible at the edge of the dark blue pigment towards the upper right corner. This work is in overall good condition and might benefit from a light clean.
