-Very good original condition. -Canvas does not appear to be lined. -A few small areas of leaves at lower left appear darker under U.V. light than do surrounding areas, we attribute this to varnish inconsistencies, not to restoration. -Canvas has slight convex protrusion at lower center right, NOT a tear or hole. .
