Condition
The canvas is unlined. There is some slight frame rubbing with some associated plaster remnants along the extreme edges (not entirely visible when framed). There are some small dots which appears to fluoresce under UV light to the extreme right of the right edge, however it is not related to any retouching. This work is in very good original condition.
