Condition
The canvas is not lined. Examination under UV light reveals scattered lines of retouching most predominately to the blue impasto, to the upper part and to the centre of the composition. There are a few minor paint losses along the lower edge and some scattered lines of craquelure throughout the composition. There is some slight frame rubbing along the extreme edges. This work is in overall fairly good condition.
