Condition

The canvas is not lined. There is a thick layer of varnish preventing the UV light from fully penetrating but there do not appear to be any signs of retouching visible under UV light. There are some very fine lines of paint shrinkage and stable craquelure in places, predominantly to the upper half. This work is in overall very good condition.
