Condition
The canvas is not lined. Examination under UV light reveals strokes of retouching along the right edge, relating to a stretcher bar mark. There are further smaller spots of retouching to the upper part of the composition and the top of the left edge. There is a cluster of flecks of paint loss to the centre of the upper edge, which could be restored. There are fine lines of craquelure in places. There are stretcher bar marks along the upper, left and right edges, and a vertical mark to the centre of the canvas. The canvas is gently undulating. This work is in overall good condition.
