Condition
The work appears to be in very good condition. Inspection under ultraviolet light reveals no signs of restoration or repair. The work is stretched but framed and the canvas is unlined. The colours are very well preserved. Please note, a defect in the weaving of the canvas runs all the way up the left side. It is slightly visible under the painting but clearly visible from the rear of the canvas. Some tiny cracks to framing edges to the upper quadrant and left side. Please note this work has not been examined outside of its frame.
