The work has been reframed but the original frame has been encased and stuck to the new frame. The canvas appears sound with no damage or restoration, there is evidence of later staples but doesn’t look to be relined, there is a slight waxy residue present to the reverse. The paint surface has some minor cracking as you’d expect in areas of thicker paint. Overall, in good condition. Extra images will follow via email.
