The canvas is not lined. There is a milky varnish preventing UV light from fully penetrating, however examination under UV light appears to reveal no evidence of retouching. There are a few hairline lines of stable craquelure scattered. There is a small dot of paint loss to the centre of the lower part of the composition (located 41cm from right edge and 48.5cm from lower edge, as visible in the catalogue illustration). There are two small surface scratches with associated paint losses, towards the left part of the lower edge (as visible in the catalogue illustration). This work is in overall very good condition.
