Private Collection, Singapore

The painting is in good condition. The canvas has been strip-lined, for stretching purposes, and is clear, taut and in good condition. Examination under ultraviolet light reveals some scattered spots of general retouching, including those around the edges, which were probably caused by abrasion from framing. Retouching is visible only with UV light. The paint layers are intact and well-preserved. The colours are brighter in reality than in the catalogue.
