Condition
The canvas is not lined and there are no signs of retouching visible under UV light. There are some tiny specks of paint loss to the lower right edge and a tiny loss to the front of the chair frame. Apart from some thin areas of paint shrinkage, mainly towards to the lower right quadrant and intrinsic to the drying process of the work, this work is in very good condition.
