Condition
The canvas is not lined and UV examination reveals no evidence of retouching. Close inspection reveals two 1mm pin-sized holes to the extreme upper left corner, some very slight frame rubbing towards the lower left corner and very minor gold pigment deposit to the upper right corner. Otherwise, this work is in very good overall condition.
Colours: overall fairly accurate in the printed catalogue.
