Condition
The canvas is not lined. There is an uneven varnish application, but examination under UV light reveals some scattered very tiny spots of retouching, primarily to the cat's face and to the green pigment at the lower part of the composition. There are some minor spots of pigment loss at the extreme edges, consistent with frame abrasion. This work is in overall good condition.
