Condition

Original canvas. There are a few signs of possible retouching visible under ultraviolet light, notably to the sky. Apart from some light undulation to the canvas at the corners, scattered very fine craquelure, some very light surface dirt and a pinhead-sized fleck of paint loss to the centre of the left side, this work is in very good condition, with a strong surface and fine detail. Held in a decorative, faux-ebony moulded plaster and wood frame with a gold accent.
