The colours are fairly accurate in the catalogue illustration although the latter does not convey the richness and relief of the medium. There are some drying cracks visible under close inspection near the upper edge and in the lower right quadrant under the varnish. Under UV light inspection, there is no evidence of any restoration. The work is in very good condition.
