Condition
Original canvas.
There is a slight stretcher bar mark along the top edge. The varnish has apparently discoloured slightly and the surface is slightly dirty and may benefit from a light clean. Otherwise the work is in generally good overall condition with areas of strong impasto.
Ultraviolet light reveals pigments which fluoresce that are apparently the hand of the artist.
Held in a painted plaster frame.
