Provenance
Acquired by the present owner circa 2000
Condition
The canvas is not lined. There is an uneven layer of varnish which is preventing the UV light from fully penetrating in places, but UV inspection reveals a minor spot of retouching in the upper corner. There is some frame abrasion evident along the lower right edge and along the centre of the left edge. There is some paint loss due to frame rubbing in the upper right corner and in the centre of the upper edge. Otherwise this work is in good condition.
