There is some undulation to the lower right corner of the canvas. There is a small patch on the verso in the lower left corner but this does not appear to be visible on the recto. The paint surface is slightly thin at the very edge of the lower left corner but otherwise the paint surface appears to be in good overall condition. Examination under ultra-violet light reveals some small spots of fluorescence in the lower right corner. These appears to be marks of surface matter but may be very old retouching. Held in a painted wooden and composition frame. Please telephone the department on 020 7293 5381 if you have any questions regarding the present work.
