Condition Report:
Canvas is not lined. A band of framing tape along the four edges. Examination under UV light reveals a few small touches of cosmetic retouching towards the upper edge and the center of the right edge. Additional minor inpainting are visible to the lower edge: a thin diagonal scratch to the lower right corner (approx. 18 cm long), two further thin scratch lines to the lower center (approx. 6.5 cm long), and a final minor scratch to the lower left corner. This work is in overall good condition.
