Condition
Original canvas. The canvas undulates very slightly in the upper left and upper right corners.
There is some old frame abrasion along the edges, predominantly in the upper right edge. There are some scattered areas of surface dirt, notably to the darker pigments, and the work may benefit from a light clean. Otherwise the work appears in good overall condition.
Under ultraviolet light there appear to be no signs of retouching.
Held in a large white frame under glass; unexamined out of frame.
