Condition
Executed on linen-finished paper, laid down on board. There is a thick varnish that inhibits inspection of the paint surface under UV light. There is a thin line of visible retouching running across the bottom right corner, possibly over a repaired crease or tear. This work appears to be in good condition.
Colours: Overall accurate, although slightly deeper in the original.
