Condition
The canvas is unlined. Under UV light, there is a very small area of retouching to the brown pigment to the centre of the lower edge (approx. 25 cm from the lower edge). There is some slight accretion to the black pigment to the centre of the lower edge (approx. 6cm from the lower edge) which appears to fluoresce under UV light. Apart from some slight frame rubbing to the extreme edges, this work is in very good original condition.
