Condition

The canvas has not been lined. Ultraviolet light reveals a handful of scattered tiny pinhead-sized spots which fluoresce green, possibly corresponding to minor retouchings. The work is otherwise in good original condition. Presented in a modern black-painted frame with a silver-gilt inner accent, the edges of the canvas visible.
