Condition
This painting is unlined. The tacking edges have been lightly reinforced and the canvas is well stretched on a new stretcher. The paint layer is stable and clean. The varnish is original and there are no paint losses. The original paint layer reads quite unevenly under ultraviolet light and retouches are hard to identify positively. The painting looks well and can be hung as is. (This condition report has been provided courtesy of Simon Parkes Art Conservation, Inc.)
