Condition

The canvas is not lined. There is a milky varnish preventing UV light from fully penetrating, however, UV examination reveals an area of retouching (approx. 10cm long) to the lower right corner and some further smaller spots in places. There are two thin vertical watermarks to the centre of the canvas. This work is in overall good condition and would benefit from a clean.
