Condition
Original canvas. There are some very light scuffs around the extreme edges of the canvas with three tiny fleck of loss at the lower edge and one or two push marks corresponding with the underlying stretcher. There is a very fine horizontal line of paint cracking in the upper right quadrant of the composition and some light surface dirt across the piece. With the exception of the above the work appears to be in very good condition.
Ultraviolet light reveals no obvious signs of florescence or retouching.
The work is float mounted in an aluminium tray frame.
