The canvas has been relined but this has not overly flattened the paint surface. The paint surface is generally secure with some very minor scattered losses. Inspection under UV light reveals scattered retouchings and strengthenings throughout and some small spots of restoration. The paint is a little abraded in some areas. Offered unframed.
