Condition

The canvas is not lined. The canvas is slightly undulating. There are some tiny dots of paint loss predominately to the contours of the coloured areas. There is some fine hairline craquelure in places. Examination under UV light reveals extensive retouching predominately in the centre and along the lower part of the composition, and some further retouching towards the upper right and left corners. This work is in fairly good condition.
