Condition
The canvas is laid down on cardboard. The work has not been examined fully unframed. There are pinholes to the all four corners. There are a few scattered flecks of paint loss notably to the upper part of the left edge and some fly spots to the grey pigment to the upper right quadrant and to lower left quadrant. There is a small area (approx 1 cm wide) of superficial dirt which appears to fluoresce under UV light towards the right part of the lower edge, however there is no evidence of retouching. This work is in overall good condition and could benefit from a clean.
