Condition
The colours are fairly accurate in the catalogue illustration although the image does not convey the three-dimensional texture of the canvas.
The work is executed on its original canvas, not relined.
The canvas is slightly wavy in the upper right corner.
Due to the artist's process, few stabilized cracks are visible under close inspection (located in the central oval-shaped).
Under UV light there is no evidence of any retouching.
This work is in very good condition.
