Condition
The canvas is not lined and there do not appear to be any signs of retouching visible under UV light. The canvas is slightly undulating in the upper left corner. There is a tiny fleck of paint loss to the brown element in the upper right corner and a further tiny loss to the lower left quadrant. There is some minor frame rubbing along the left edge and to all four corners. Otherwise this work is in overall very good original condition.
