The canvas has not been relined. There is a minor scuff to the paint surface and a loss (approx. 1/4 in. wide) in the lower left quadrant near the lower edge. When examined under UV light, there is extremely minor scattered cosmetic retouching; one spot of retouching is visible with the naked eye in the lower left quadrant in the brown pigment. The surface is clean. The work is in very good condition.
