Condition Report:
Condition:
This work is in fair condition. The canvas is slack and would benefit from restretching. The paint seams not to be completely dry, perhaps the varnish was applied too early as the surface remains slightly tacky and soft. The raised impasto areas are very soft. The surface of the paint was covered with bits of white polystyrene which was used to protect the front of the painting and it got attached to the surface in some places affecting the surface of the impasto being pressed and damaged. There was restoration done on the work prior to the sale where the white bits of polystyrene were removed adjusting the texture and sheen of the areas where damaged and the spots of surface losses were retouched and varnished. The restoration is only visible under UV light.
Colour:
The catalogue illustration is accurate; however, there is more shine to the overall tonality in the original work.
