Condition

This work is in a generally good condition overall. There is a small tear (appr. 3 cm) along the bottom edge of the painting (30 cm from the right edge). There is a small area of light soiling along the lower left edge at the bottom of the painting, that may be from the hand of the artist. The canvas is slightly loose and can benefit from restretching. The work was not examined under UV light.
