Condition

Original canvas, which is a little undulated. The paint surface is slightly dirty with a layer of discoloured varnish. There are small areas of craquelure to the areas where the canvas has rucked e.g. to the top right hand quadrant and to the left had portion of the composition, which has resulted in some small flecks of paintloss. UV light reveals no apparent retouching. Held in a modern gold painted wooden frame. Unexamined out of fame.
