Condition

The canvas in not lined and slighlty loose. There is an old uneven varnish preventing UV light from fully penetrating, however examination under UV light reveals no evidence of retouching. There are some horizontal lines of craquellure towards the centre of the composition and additionnal fine webs of craquelure in areas, notably in the upper right corner. There are stretcher bars marks visible on the left side of the composition. There is some slight frame abrasion along the extreme edges. Surface is a bit dirty. This work is in overall good condition and could benefit from a light clean.
