Condition
The canvas is not lined and examination under UV light reveals no areas of retouching. There are two vertical drip marks to the left part of the canvas which are inherent to the artist's technique. There is some discolouration to the varnish at the extreme edges which is not visible when framed. Overall this work is in good condition.
