Condition

STRUCTURE Original canvas in good stable condition. CATALOGUE COMPARISON The illustration is broadly representative but the tones are slightly richer in reality. PAINT SURFACE The paint surface is in good overall condition but has traces of dirt and may benefit from a light clean. There are very minor surface abrasions in the upper and lower right corners; these are only visible on close inspection. ULTRAVIOLET UV light reveals one small spot of retouching in the upper right corner. FRAME Held in a modern composite frame in fair condition.
