Condition

This work is in very good condition. The canvas is not lined. The surface is clean and the pigments are fresh and bright. The work appears to have been re-stretched onto a stretcher that is slightly smaller than the original at some point, allowing the top 2-3 inches of the canvas to be folded over. Under UV light: no inpainting is apparent.
