Condition

Please note that this work appears to be on board and not on canvas as stated in the catalogue description. There is a surface scratch to the lower centre of the work, near the bottom framing edge, measuring approximately 1cm. long. Inspection under ultraviolet light reveals areas of over painting running along the right, top and left framing edges, all measuring approximately 1cm. wide, and a slightly opaque varnish. Otherwise, the work appears to be in good condition.
