Condition

The canvas is lined. There is an uneven discoloured varnish which prevents the UV light from fully penetrating but there appear to be small spots of retouching to cover frame rubbing to the bottom left corner, visible under UV light. This work is in good condition. Colours: Overall fairly accurate, although deeper in the original.
