Condition

Overall good condition. The canvas is lined; there is a layer of varnish which makes the picture somewhat difficult to read. Under UV: some retouches at the upper corners and lower right corner; a 2 inch horizontal stroke and a few scattered spots towards the lower center and a few scattered pin dots primarily on the left side of the composition.
