Condition
Oil on linen-finish paper laid down on artist's board; the board is stable and there do not appear to be any signs of retouching under UV light. There are artist's pin holes to the upper two corners and to the centre of the upper edge. There is a tiny fly spot towards the centre of the upper edge and two minor flecks of paper accretion towards the upper part of the right edge, possibly original. There are a few light surface scuffs in places. Otherwise this work is in very good original condition.
