Condition

This work on canvas is stable, but there are waves to the canvas and a long arc shaped line of cracks in the lower center. This is a work that may benefit from lining to even out the surface. The work has been over varnished. No retouches are visible under ultraviolet light, and it is doubtful that there is any significant paint loss.
