Condition

The canvas is unlined. The reverse is protected by a board which has been taped to the canvas along the stretcher; as a result, the backing has not been removed. The canvas is in generally good condition with minor bumping and pulling at the top edges. Under UV, there are two very minor spots of inpainting along the far upper edge, likely from frame abrasion.
