Canvas is not lined. There is a layer of varnish on the surface. Some minor frame abrasion is visible along the extreme perimeter of the canvas. Under UV light: there may be a few tiny retouches to the extreme lower right corner. Otherwise numerous original pigments fluoresce, as do some areas of unevenly applied varnish. This appears to be the artist's intent and all pigments appear to be original. Overall the work is in very good condition.
