Condition

The canvas is not lined and retains a rich and textured impasto in places. There is an artist's pin hole at the lower left corner. There is a layer of varnish on the surface preventing UV light from fully penetrating. UV examination reveals, there are two very small strokes of in-painting at the extreme upper right corner. Otherwise, the work is in overall very good condition.
