Condition

The canvas is not lined. A close inspection reveals evidence of some old frame abrasion, mostly along the upper edge, and a very discreet area of shrinkage towards the upper left corner with associated tiny spots of paint-loss. There are a few very faint spots of fluorescence visible under UV light along the upper edge which could be old retouching. This work is in very good condition.
