Condition Report:
The canvas is lined and inspection under UV light reveals a small area of retouching to the left of the lower edge and a small spot to the upper right corner. There is some light frame abrasion to the edges of the canvas. There are tiny pinholes to the edges from previous tacking holes. There are a few tiny fly spots in places. This work is in overall very good condition.
