Condition
The colours are fairly accurate in the catalogue illustration although the overall tonality is lighter and less contrasted in the original work.
The work is executed on its original canvas and is not relined.
There are some minor wears to each of the four corners and on the lower edge. One small dent located by the left edge, in the light green paint, has resulted in small very faint hairline cracks. There are two horizontal cracks located at the center of the left half of the composition, visible only under close inspection.
Under Ultra Violet light inspection there is no evidence of restoration.
This work is in very good condition.
