Condition
The canvas is not lined. There are intermittent lines of retouching running down the right and the left edges of the work, probably to cover paint loss due to frame rubbing. All retouching is visible under UV light. Apart from some intermittent retouching to the bottom edge, and a couple of spots of retouching to the centre right of the upper edge, this work is in good condition.
