Condition
The colours are fairly accurate in the catalogue illustration although the background tends a bit more towards cream in the original work.
The work is executed on its original canvas and is not relined.
There are some wears along the edges and corners,as well as some faint dirt marks. Few small webs or hairline cracks are visible on the white background, four of which located by the upper and lower edges, have been carefully restored. These fluoresce under Ultra Violet light inspection.
