Condition
The canvas is not lined. Examination under UV light reveals spots of old retouching along the left and upper edges, probably to address prior frame rubbing. There are scattered fine lines of stable craquelure in places and a fly-spot towards the centre of the lower edge.The varnish appears to have discoloured slightly. This work is in good overall condition.
