Condition
The canvas is not lined. The canvas is slightly buckling at the lower right corner. There is a nail sized pigment loss slightly below and to the left of the centre of the composition, and there are some scattered areas of previous frame abrasion around the extreme edges of the canvas. There are a few small nicks and surface scratches throughout, most visible around the edges of the work. Examination under UV reveals no evidence of retouching. Overall, this work is in very good condition.
