Condition

This work is in a generally good condition overall. There is slight soiling and handling marks along the edges of the work, in the white border of the painting, especially on the right hand side. The painting is slightly cracking along the left edge of the work, where the canvas wraps around the stretcher. The canvas is slightly loose and can benefit from restretching. Unexamined under UV light.
