Condition
Original canvas. There is an indentation to the canvas in the lower left quadrant. There are some fine lines of craquelure visible in both the lower corners, with some small flecks of loss, and some further very small, fine lines of craquelure in places where the canvas curves round the stretcher. There are some lines of craquelure visible to the lines which divide the four quadrants in places. There are some small pinholes in places around the edges of the canvas, with associated tiny flecks of loss. There is some light rubbing to some of the upper tips of the surface of the work in places. There are some specks of surface dirt to the work in places, including a spot in the lower left quadrant. Subject to the above, the work appears to be in good overall condition.
Ultraviolet light reveals some scattered spots of light fluorescence, which may be in line with the Artist's retouchings.
