Condition

It has not been possible to see the work entirely unframed. Oil on two joined burlap canvases. The canvas is not lined and slightly loose. There is a milky varnish preventing UV light from fully penetrating, however examination under UV light reveals no evidence of retouching. This work is in overall very good condition.
