Condition
The canvas is not lined and there do not appear to be any signs of retouching visible under UV light. There is a horizontal stretcher bar mark and scattered very fine lines of craquelure. There appear to be residues of varnish in places, predominantly around the edges and most prominently to the upper right corner. This work appears to be in good overall condition.
