There is a section of rubbing and paint loss along the top edge, approximately 15 inches from the left edge and two areas along the right edge, approximately 24 and 51 inches from the bottom edge. There are some dark horizontal accretions along the bottom edge of the canvas. Under ultraviolet light inspection there is no evidence of restoration. Unframed.
