Condition
The canvas is not lined and there do not appear to be any retouchings visible under UV light. UV examination reveals some areas of fluorescence which are attributable to the pigments used or residual varnish. There are some extremely fine lines of craquelure in places. This work is in overall very good condition and might benefit from a light clean.
