Condition

The canvas is not lined. There is an old uneven milky varnish preventing UV light from fully penetrating, however examination under UV light appears to reveal no evidence of retouching. There are a few thin lines of craquelure to the most thickly appplied pigment. Impasto is nice and well preserved. There is some frame rubbing along the extreme edges. This work is in overall good condition.
