Condition
This painting is in beautiful state. The canvas is unlined and on its original stretcher. The paint layer is stable, clean and unvarnished. In the upper center background and beneath the signature there are a few small retouches. Approximately half and inch from the right edge there is a one inch vertical scratch, which has also been retouched. There are no other retouches and the picture is in lovely condition.
