In some, the canvas has slackened and there is faint craquellure and alligatoring in some spots where the paint is heavily applied, and mostly concentrated in the dark pigments. There are several small patches on the reverse, the largest being 3 x 3". Under UV, small areas of inpainting fluoresce mostly corresponds to patches on reverse.
