Condition

Canvas is not lined. SURFACE: in generally good condition; canvas weave shows through in more thinly painted areas (perhaps some overcleaning), although there is fairly good pigment retention and details, colors show well; a small surface scratch at upper center; faint craquelure and strecher marks UNDER ULTRA VIOLET: a few strokes of inpainting (for losses) at lower left--near signature, but do not affect it at all
