This picture is unlined and the original canvas is providing a stable structural support. There is a fine craquelure pattern but this is only visible upon close inspection. The paint surface is a little dirty and the varnish has discoloured - the picture should benefit from a light clean. UNDER ULTRAVIOLET LIGHT The varnish appears opaque but there are no obvious retouchings.
