Condition
The canvas is not lined. There are a few small nicks, possibly original, towards the centre of the upper edge and to the centre of the right edge. There is no evidence of retouching under UV light. There is some minor paint shrinkage in areas in the white pigment and some minor frame rubbing along the extreme edges. This work is in overall very good condition.
