Condition
The canvas is lined and there is a milky layer of varnish preventing UV light from fully penetrating. UV examination reveals a small spot of fluorescence to the pink area in the lower left quadrant with some associated thin lines of craquelure, which may refer to a repaired tear. Otherwise this work is in overall good condition.
