The canvas has been relined. The paint surface is secure although a little abraded in some areas and is under a discoloured varnish. This varnish impedes satisfactory inspection under UV light although some retouchings do flouresce. Some frame abrasion is present along the edges, some of which has been retouched. Offered in a wood and plaster frame with some minor knocks.
