Condition
The colours are fairly accurate in the printed catalogue illustration. Please note that this work has been inspected framed and that the edges and rims were not visible. Wears are located along the edges of the canvas, some of which resulted in small paint losses along the lower edge. There are hairline cracks scattered throughout the canvas, visible upon close inspection only. The canvas is loose. Under Ultra Violet Light inspection there is no evidence of restoration.
