Condition
The canvas is unlined. The impasto is well preserved although a few minor flakes of paint loss are visible on the extreme top center edge where there is also an area of minor buckling and some fine lines of craquelure. Minor frame abrasion is apparent to the outer edges and the surface is visibly dirty. Under UV light: no inpainting is apparent. The work is in overall very good condition.
