Condition

The canvas is unlined and appears to be providing a good sound support. The paint surface also appears to be in excellent original condition overall. However, the edges of the canvas appear slightly dirty and there are spots of surface dirt scattered in the central section which should be removed with a professional clean. Please note that the colours are slightly darker and more saturated in the orignal than they appear in the catalogue illustation.
