. The back of the picture has been covered with paper, however where it is loose (top corner) it is apparent that the sheet has been laid onto canvas. As such, there is no evidence of cockling to the front and some subtle indication of the weave of the canvas is perceptible. Some surface dirt but the image remains broadly in good order. With some minor rubbing to the edges of the sheet. Not examined out of the frame.
