The canvas is lined. There are a few cracks associated with lines of retouching visible under UV light to the centre of the lower edge. Examination under UV light also reveals a few additional dots of retouching most predominately along the extreme edges. There are a few lines of stable craquelure in places notably in the white pigment in the upper right quadrant. There is some frame rubbing associated with paint losses along the extreme edges. This work is in overall good condition.
