Condition

There is a spot of staining in the lower and upper left quadrants. There are two patches towards the lower edge where the colour of the paint is inconsistent, this was probably done by the artist at a later stage. There is a horizontal stretcher mark to the upper edge and handling marks around the edges of the work. The painting is presented unframed. Inspection under ultraviolet light reveals no evidence of retouching.
