Condition
The canvas is not lined. A close inspection reveals some minor old frame abrasion, mostly to the upper left and right edges, as well as two tiny holes to the canvas in the right corners. There is a 0.5cm² spot of retouching in the light brown pigment towards the centre of the lower edge, visible under UV light and to the naked eye. This work is in very good condition.
