Condition
The canvas is not lined. There is a thin layer of varnish preventing UV light from fully penetrating, however examination under UV reveals no signs of re-touching. There is some stable craquelure, predominately to the thicker pigments, and some gentle undulation to the canvas at the centre of the right edge. There is some frame rubbing to the extreme edges. There is some lovely texture to the composition and this work is in overall very good condition.
