Condition

The canvas has not been lined and is securely attached to a keyed wooden stretcher which appears to be of the period. Inspection under ultra-violet light reveals four vertical, circa 10cm long lines of cosmetic retouching in the upper half of the composition, which appear to be addressing some old paint flaking. Otherwise, this work is overall in good condition and is ready to hang. Presented in a dark, floating frame.
