Condition
The canvas is not lined. There are some areas of very minor shrinkage notably in the blue pigment along the lower edge and there is a minor hairline scuff (approx. 0.5cm) towards the lower middle edge. Under UV light, only one 0.5cm wide spot fluoresces in the blue pigment in the upper left quadrant. The work is in very good condition.
