Condition

The colours are fairly accurate in the printed catalogue illustration. The work is executed on its original canvas and is not relined. The extremities of the four corners present some very minor wears, visible under very close inspection only. Under Ultra Violet light inspection few small areas fluoresce, mainly concentrated along the lower edge. This work is in good condition.
