Condition
Canvas has not been lined. Surface is covered with a light layer of varnish. There appears to be some minor frame abrasion along the extreme lower edge of the canvas, including a small spot of possible loss toward the lower left corner. Under UV light: the aforementioned layer of varnish is difficult to read through, but no inpainting is apparent. Overall the work is in excellent condition.
