Condition

The canvas is not lined. Examination under UV light reveals a few lines of re-touching intermittently along the edges, predominately the upper edge, associated with frame rubbing, none of which interfere with the composition. There is a faint diagonal impression in the canvas to the upper right quadrant, only visible in a raked light, and there is some dirt visible to the upper left corner, probably associated with handling. The colours are fresh and this work is in overall good condition.
