Condition
The canvas is unlined but not on its original stretcher. There are a few spots of staining to the lower center visible under raking light. There are very slight frame abrasions to the left and right margins. There is a slightly uneven application of the varnish. Under UV light there is fluorescing consistent with the artist's use of pigment. The surface appears to be stable.
