Structural condition The canvas has been lined and this is ensuring a sound and secure structural support. Paint surface The paint surface has a very uneven varnish layer and would undoubtedly benefit from cleaning and revarnishing. Inspection under ultraviolet light shows numerous spots that fluoresce unevenly but I am confident are deposit spots within the varnish layers rather than retouchings, and I could find no evidence of any retouching. There may be retouchings beneath the old opaque varnish layers that I could not identify under ultraviolet light. Summary The painting would therefore appear to be in very good and stable condition and should respond well to cleaning and revarnishing.
