Canvas is not lined. There is light abrasion probably due to the frame at the extremity of the upper left corner. There are a few hairline craquelures located most predominantly in the white impasto, only visible under very close inspection. Examination under UV light reveals no evidence of retouching. This work is in overall very good condition.
