Condition

Please note that this work is stretched, unframed and the canvas is unlined. There appears to be wear, cracking and associated loss visible along all four framing edges and to all four corners, in particular the top left hand corner. The canvas appears to be ripped on three of the four corners, the largest rip measuring approximately 20mm on the top left hand corner. The top left hand and right hand corner and bottom right corner canvas folds are not secured to the stretcher. Inspection under UV light shows no signs of repair or restoration.
