Condition
Executed on buff wove paper laid down on canvas. Examination under UV light reveals a thin line of fluorescence (approx. 11 cm long) in the lower right quadrant, probably relating to old varnish. There are a few dots of paint loss towards the upper left and right corners and towards the centre of the left edge. There are a few pinholes with associated pigment loss to the centre of the lower edge and a few further pinholes to the lower right quadrant. The sheet is light stained. This work is in overall good condition.
