Condition
The canvas is not lined. Examination under UV light reveals three spots of retouching to the white pigment in the sky and further spots of retouching to the white background, not visible when framed. There are scattered pinhead losses to the pigment, predominantly to the green pigment making up the foliage and two small spots to the torso of the figure. The work is in overall good condition.
