Condition
The canvas is not lined. Inspection under UV light does not appear to show any signs of retouching. There are pinholes to the centre of the upper edge and the canvas is slightly undulating. There are some tiny flecks of pigment loss to the green pigment along the left part of the lower edge and some further minor spots of pigment loss to the extreme edges consistent with old frame abrasion. This work is in overall very good condition.
