Condition
Canvas is wax-lined. The colors are bright and fresh. Under UV light there are thin lines of retouching visible in places along the bottom and left edges, likely to address prior frame abrasion. There is also one oblong area of retouching about five inches in length, two inches in from the center of the left edge which appears to correspond to a repaired tear at the same location; not visible to the naked eye. Overall this work is in good condition.
