Condition
The canvas is lined and the work has been restretched onto a new stretcher. Inspection under UV light reveals a thick varnish which prevents the light from fully penetrating. There are small scattered losses to the extreme edges and an artist's pinhole in the upper left corner and at the centre of the right edge. The work is in overall stable condition.
