Condition

It has not been possibly to see the work entirely unframed. The canvas is not lined and undulating. There is a uneven milky varnish preventing UV light from fully penetrating, however examination UV light appears to reveal no evidence of retouching. There are a few scattered flyspots and tiny lines of stable craquelure. This work is in overall very good condition and could benefit from a clean.
