Condition
The canvas is not lined and there is no evidence of retouching visible under UV light. There are a few scattered artist's pinholes to the extreme edges. A close inspection reveals a horizontal line inherent to the weave of the canvas running across the centre of the work, and a very minor 3mm-long scratch towards the centre of the left edge. Otherwise, this work is in overall very good original condition.
