Condition
The canvas is not lined. There is a layer of varnish preventing the UV light from fully penetrating, however examination under UV light reveals some areas of retouching to the upper and left edges, and to the left part of the upper edge measuring approx. 2 by 4cm. There is some pigment loss to the extreme edges associated with frame rubbing. This work is in overall good condition.
