The colours are fairly accurate in the printed catalogue illustration. The work is executed on its original canvas and is not relined. The canvas is slightly loose. Minor wear marks are located along the lower edge especially near the lower left corner. The pink area in the centre and the centre of the left half of the canvas each present a superficial rub mark. Under Ultra Violet Light inspection there is not evidence of restoration. This work is in good condition.
