Condition
The canvas has been relined. There may be a few small spots of cosmetic retouching though a proper reading of this under ultraviolet light is hindered by a fluorescing varnish. Apart from some faint craquelure and a few tiny spots of pigment loss towards the centre of the left edge the paint surface is overall in good condition. Held in a decorative plaster moulded gilt frame.
