The colours are fairly accurate in the catalogue illustration although the overall tonality is less saturated in the original work, especially the purple and red. The work is executed on its original canvas and is not relined. A superficial and minor crease inherent to the canvas on the upper left quadrant is visible under close inspection. Under UV light, a minor mark fluoresces located 33 cm from the left edge and 10 cm from the lower edge. This work is in excellent condition.
