Condition
The canvas is not lined. Examination under UV light reveals some intermittent retouching along all four edges as well as some spots in the background, notably towards the centre of the left and right edges, and to address a horizontal surface scratch of approximately 10cm. in the lower left corner. There is some frame abrasion with spots of associated paint loss along all four edges and a few scattered small specks of pigment loss in the background. This work is in fairly good condition.
