Condition
The canvas has been relined. There may be some small cosmetic retouchings though a proper reading of this is hindered by a fluorescing varnish layer. Apart from some signs of craquelure and a thick varnish layer, the paint surface is overall in good condition. Held under glass in a plaster moulded gilt frame.
