Condition
The canvas is not lined. UV examination reveals a small area of retouching to the upper left quadrant (approximately 2cm. long) and another area of retouching below the central yellow element (approximately 7cm. long) neither of which are visible to the naked eye. There are a few further smaller spots and lines of retouching in places. The surface appears to be slightly dirty and there is some minor frame rubbing along the extreme edges. This work is in overall good condition.
