Condition

The canvas is not lined and there do not appear to be any signs of retouching visible under UV light. Close inspection reveals some slightly raised but stable craquelure towards the upper left corner and some light paint loss and frame-rubbing towards its extreme edge. There is a very minor dent with some associated paint loss towards the upper right corner, and a tiny spot of medium loss beneath the 'n' of the signature. This work is in overall very good condition. Colours: Fairly accurate in the printed catalogue.
