Condition
The canvas is lined and inspection under UV light reveals a few minor scattered spots of retouching and some in-filling in the lower left quadrant. The lower left corner has signs of craquelure and some associated paint loss to the extreme left edge. There are some scattered fly spots on the surface which would benefit from a light clean. There is a very small pinhole in the upper right corner. This work is in overall good condition.
