Condition
The work has more magenta undertones than in the catalogue illustration, mainly visible in the background which is more brown. Moreover, the image does not accurately convey the rich texture of the ochre areas.
The corners present some slight wears.
Under Ultra Violet light inspection there is no evidence of restoration.
This work is in very good condition.
