Condition Report

Canvas is in plane and with good tension. The artist has left small areas of the canvas exposed and has scraped away the paint layers to create the bars on some of the bird cages. Paint layers appear in good, stable condition. There are a few instances of 'raised' paint, but this is where the artist has applied the media more thickly. There is one pinhead-sized white accretion to the centre of the canvas. Overall in nice, clean and presentable condition.
