Condition
Canvas is lined and the cut edge of the original canvas is visible along the right side of the work. Surface is slightly dirty and there is a thick layer of varnish. Under UV light the layer of varnish is somewhat difficult to read through but there do not appear to be any major areas of retouching aside from one spot at center of left edge and a few strokes along the right edge, otherwise fine. Work is in good condition.
