The canvas is not lined. There is a line of fluorescence, visible under UV light, running along the left edge and intermittedly along the lower left edge, which is possibly retouching. Apart from a 1cm. sq. spot of retouching towards the centre of the right edge, this work is in good condition. Colours: Overall more varied and brighter in the original.
