Condition

Canvas is not lined, however it is somewhat loose in the stretcher and there are some tears at the extreme corners where it folds over the existing stretcher. These are well outside of the image area. There are a few artist's pinholes around the perimeter. Under UV light there are four small spots of inpainting in the lower left quadrant and three very small spots near the center of the upper half of the picture, otherwise fine. This work is in generally good condition.
