Condition

Canvas is lined and its edges have been reinforced with tape. Surface retains a rich texture. A pin-dot surface stain is evident below the center of the lower left quadrant of the composition. Under UV light: few small spots of retouching are present at the extreme upper right corner of the canvas to address prior frame abrasion. In addition, a few scattered strokes of retouching are visible along the extreme edges, also to address prior frame abrasion. Otherwise work is fine; the work is in good condition overall.
