Condition
The canvas is lined. There is a varnish preventing UV light from fully penetrating, however examination under UV light reveals no signs of retouching. There are some spots of pigment loss at the upper left and upper right corners and some further spots of pigment loss towards the extreme edges associated with frame abrasion. This work is in overall good condition.
