Condition
The canvas is not lined and examination under UV light reveals no signs of retouching. There are lines of craquelure throughout the composition and fine lines of paint shrinkage in places. There are a few spots of paint loss, notably towards the centre of the left edge. There is some light frame rubbing along the extreme edges. This work is in overall good condition.
