Condition
The work is in very good condition. The canvas has not been lined though it is very slightly buckled on its stretcher. Extemely minor frame abrasion has occurred to the most extreme outer edges and the surface is a little dirty with black pindot spots visible primarily to the upper right quadrant. Under UV light: no inpainting is apparent.
