The canvas is unlined and well stretched and under ultraviolet light there is no evidence of inpainting. There are slight abrasions along the upper edge where the canvas folds over the stretcher. This is also evident along the lower right edge and intermittently along the left edge. There is a ½ in. paint loss on the upper edge where the canvas has folded around the stretcher. Overall in very good condition.
