The canvas is not lined. There are two lines of retouching above the centre of the lower edge, the larger 6cm., the smaller 3cm, both visible under UV light. Apart from some very thin intermittent lines of retouching at points down the lower right edge and a nailhead-sized spot of retouching to the lower left edge, this work is in good condition. Colours: The colours are richer and more vibrant in the original.
