Condition
The canvas is not lined. Examination under UV light reveals scattered spots of retouching predominantly to the white pigment in the background at the left, right and upper edges. There is some minor pigment shrinkage to the thick impasto in the plate to the left of the composition. The edges have been lined with tape which is not visible when framed. Overall this work is in good condition.
