Condition
The canvas is lined. Examination under UV light does not appear to reveal any signs of retouching, there is some fluorescence visible which may pertain to the pigments and varnish used. There is some pigment shrinkage to the thicker areas of impasto most notably to the upper right quadrant. There are some spots of pigment loss in places, in particular to the extreme edges. This work is in overall very good condition.
