Condition
The canvas is not lined. There is a thin layer of discoloured varnish preventing the UV light from fully penetrating. There are some isolated areas of paint loss, in particular towards the centre of the left edge as well as towards the centre of the upper edge. This work is in overall good condition and would benefit from a clean.
