Condition
"The following condition report has been provided by Henry Gentle, an independent restorer who is not an employee of Sotheby's.
The original canvas is lined and the paint layer is stable. There is a small damage mid left. Some small thinnesses to the paint layer in the background can be seen and through this the canvas weave is visible, some minor discoloured retouchings in this area. There is a discoloured and degraded varnish, removal of which would improve the overall tonality."
