Condition
The canvas is not lined and UV light reveals no signs of retouching. Some of the pigment fluoresce under UV light. There are some very fine lines of craquelure to the upper right corner and some further very minor lines of craquelure to the thick impasto which is barely visible to the naked eye. This work is in overall very good condition and might benefit from a light clean.
