Condition
The canvas is not lined. UV examination reveals some retouching to the lower left corner, associated to a repaired tear (approximately 6cm. long), some further retouching to the lower right corner, associated to a small, repaired hole and two further small spots of retouching to the lower right corner. There are some fine lines of stable craquelure to the upper corners and some minor frame rubbing in places along the edges. This work is in overall good condition.
