The canvas has been relined. Very close inspection reveals some wear to the upper left and right corners with an associated tiny loss and a network of hairline craquelure in the upper left corner, and two tiny losses, one to the center of the extreme left vertical edge and one to the center of the right vertical edge. Further very close inspection reveals some short and very fine cracks to the pigment in isolated places throughout and a minute splash accretion in the lower left quadrant. No restoration is apparent when examined under ultraviolet light. This work is in very good condition.
