Condition
The canvas has been lined. There is some rubbing to the paint surface to the l.l. corner, the left-hand edge and the top corners. There are spots of retouching visible to the naked eye. Examination under UV light reveals patches of retouching in places throughout, however a thick layer of opaque varnish prevents a more conclusive varnish. Held in a black and gold painted carver wooden frame. Unexamined out of frame.
