Condition
The canvas is not lined. There is an approximately 4cm-long vertical repaired tear to the centre of the upper edge with some associated discreet retouching, visible under UV light. There is a stretcher bar mark running along the right edge and some minor undulation to the upper left corner. Otherwise, this work is in overall good condition.
