Condition
The canvas is not lined but its edges have been reinforced with tape. The surface is clean and bright, and there are a few small scattered areas of light, stable craquelure. Under UV light: scattered strokes of inpainting are visible along the upper edge and extreme upper right corner to address prior frame abrasion. In addition, there are a few scattered strokes in a horizontal line three inches below the top edge of the canvas. Otherwise fine; the work is in very good condition.
