Condition

The canvas is not lined. UV light reveals two lines of fluorescence to the blue pigment towards the upper left and upper right corners which could relate to retouching. There is a pin sized paint loss to the blue pigment area at the upper left corner. One fine line of stable craquelure, to the bottom of the blue pigment area at the upper left quadrant. This work is in overall very good condition.
