Condition

This work is in very good condition. The canvas is lined. The pigments are bright and fresh. There is some minor frame abrasion with associated tiny spots of paint-loss along the extreme perimeter. Under UV light: there is a layer of varnish that is difficult to read through but no inpainting is apparent.
