Condition
The canvas has been framed under glass and appears to be unlined and loosely stretched. There are dimples near the upper and lower right corners of the canvas most likely from the shape of the stretcher. In addition, there are frame abrasions around the edges particularly around the lower part of the right edge, the lower left corner, and the upper right corner. There is a possible horizontal scratch extending out from the upper part of the right edge. Under UV light inspection there are no signs of inpainting.
