Condition
This work is in good condition. It is well stretched, unlined, shows no varnish, and although
there is slight unevenness in the lower right, in the deep red line across the bottom edge, this
seems to be original. The paint layer is stable. Running vertically through the large rectangle in the center and upper part of the picture there is a line of small retouches that is slightly blanched. It is possible that there may be a slight scratch here, which has been retouched. It’s equally possible that this may be a line of the
canvas texture which was thought to be slightly too strong or too noticeable and gave rise to
these small retouches. This could be improved, but overall the work is in very good condition. (This condition report has been provided courtesy of Simon Parkes Art Conservation, Inc.)
