Condition
This work is in untouched condition. The work may have never been cleaned, and there are no reinforcements on the reverse of the canvas. There is an unrestored 3 inch horizontal scratch near the lower edge in the vertical form in the center left. There is a small line of losses almost in the center of the composition that may require a few retouches. There is another very thin line of paint losses running about 2 inches in the center of the right side in the brown color, which also may not be original.
