Condition

The canvas is lined. There is a layer of varnish preventing UV light from fully penetrating, but examination under UV shows some areas of fluorescence towards the upper left corner and upper right corner, possibly pertaining to old retouching. There is some craquelure in places and there are some minor spots of pigment loss at the extreme edges of the upper canvas layer. This work is in overall good condition.
