Condition
The canvas is not lined. Examination under UV light reveals a few small areas of light discolouration notably above the right bull's head, which does not appear to be related to any retouching. There are two dents towards the centre of the sky. There is some minor frame rubbing along the extreme edges. There is a tiny dot of white pigment towards the centre of the lower edge. There are some minor blanching at the lower left quadrant. This work is in overall good condition and could benefit from a light clean.
