Condition

The canvas is unlined. The edges are reinforced with tape. The colors are very rich. There is a layer of varnish on the surface which under UV light is somewhat difficult to read through. However, under UV light there does appear to be a thin vertical line of retouching towards the left edge, however this may just be unevenness to the varnish. Otherwise fine. This work is in overall very good condition.
