Condition
The canvas is not lined. Examination under UV light reveals scattered spots of retouching, with one slightly larger area measuring circa 2cm. to the centre of the right-hand edge. There is a slight craquelure to the thicker area of impasto and some frame abrasion to all four sides, not visible when framed. This work is in overall good condition.
