Condition

Canvas is not lined. There is a layer of varnish on the surface. Some very minor rubbing to the edges at the extreme upper left corner and to a lesser extent across the top edge. There is a small surface scuff at the extreme upper right corner and a hairline diagonal surface abrasion four inches above the signature. Under UV light: a few pin dots of retouching along the upper edge to address frame abrasion. Otherwise fine, the work is in very good condition.
