Condition
The canvas is strip-lined and supported by a unadherred dust canvas. UV examination reveals some scattered pinhead-sized retouchings to the upper left quadrant and some further areas of retouching to the centre of the upper right quadrant. There are some very fine lines of craquelure throughout, that is slightly raised in places. Otherwise, this work is in overall good condition.
