The canvas has been lined and provides a stable support for the work. When viewed in raking light, there is stable slightly raised cracking across the work - this is minor and not particularly distracting. There is some rubbing to the framed edges. Inspection under UV light reveals some minor retouching to the framed edges and a slightly larger area of retouching to the lower half of the right edge.
