Condition

The canvas has an old relining. The paint surface is secure although it has been substantially abraded and is under a dirty varnish. Scattered and in some cases discoloured retouchings are visible to the naked eye and there are scattered restored damages, notably a restored vertical tear of aprox 30 cms centre left. Inspection under UV light confirms the above. Offered in a wood and plaster frame with some losses.
