Condition
The colours are fairly accurate in the catalogue illustration although the overall tonality is deeper in the original work.
The work is executed on its original canvas and is not relined.
Olld frame marks are visible under very close inspection along the edges.
There is a thin, vertical line of hairline cracks at the center of the upper edge.
Under Ultra Violet light inspection the edge of the lower right corner, the lower left and the extremity of the upper left corner fluoresce.
This work is in good condition.
