Condition Report:
The canvas is unlined and inspection under UV light reveals an uneven varnish layer, which could have been applied by the artist, but no obvious signs of retouching. There are very fine lines of craquelure in places. There is some light surface dirt to the composition. This work is in overall very good condition.
