Condition
The canvas is not lined and there does not appear to be any retouching visible under UV light. There are some fine lines of craquelure in places and the canvas is very slightly undulating in parts of the upper edge. There is some surface dirt and this work would benefit from a light clean. Otherwise, this work is in overall good condition.
