Condition

The canvas is not lined and there does not appear to be any evidence of retouching under UV light though some of the original pigments do fluoresce. The canvas appears to have been extended to the lower edge, inherent to the artist's process, and there are two faint horizontal lines and indents from former hinging visible as a result. There is some minor frame rubbing to parts of the extreme edges. This work is in good overall condition.
