Condition

This work on Canson Mi-Teintes paper mounted onto linen is well-stretched onto a new stretcher. There are very slight waves in the corners, but these are only faintly visible and are not a condition issue. The paint layer is clean and unvarnished. No retouches are apparent. The work should be hung in its current state. (This condition report has been provided courtesy of Simon Parkes Art Conservation, Inc.)
