Condition
The colours are fairly accurate in the catalogue illustration although the overall tonality is more contrasted and the purple is more visible in the original work.
The work is executed on its original canvas and is not relined.
There are few scattered cracks on the thicker impastos, three of which have resulted in paint uplifts, located on the right half of the work. Under Ultra Violet light inspection one small restoration is visible close to the right edge, at the center.
This work is in good condition.
