Condition
The canvas is not lined. Examination under UV light reveals an area of fluorescence within the upper left quadrant which may be attributable to the artist's materials and techniques, or which could pertain to old retouching. There is some craquelure in places and some flecks of pigment loss towards the centre of the upper edge. There is a small indentation to the canvas edge towards the centre of the lower edge. This work is in overall good condition.
