Condition

The canvas is not lined. There is a varnish preventing UV light from fully penetrating, however UV examination reveals old retouchings along all four edges relating to previous frame rubbing. There is a small pin hole towards the lower left corner and two further tiny holes in the same area, possibly part of the artist's process. There are a few tiny fly spots towards the centre of the left edge. This work is in overall good condition and might benefit from a light clean.
