Condition
The canvas is unlined and evenly stretched. Under UV light inspection, there are fluorescing sections in the center of the piece and lower right quadrant most likely a result of a prior cleaning. There are scattered small retouches to the lower edge, lower left corner, and on and near the left side edge. There are two horizontal areas of retouching in the lower half of the painting and scattered retouches in the upper half. There appears to be some scattered craquelure but the paint layer is stable. There are stretcher markings near the lower edge and a light grey spot on the right side of the lower edge. Overall, this painting appears to be in very good condition.
