The work is in good condition. There doesn't seem to be any restoration done to the work, which makes us believe the restorer's label on the back is from having the work cleaned. The front of the work where the brown spot would show through from the back has been examined, and it does not seem to be visible from the front. There is a ghost line on the front along the upper portion of the canvas where the stretcher is along the back, which has some cracking along it. Restoration label verso by Albert Jacques Franck - who is also a well known Canadian painter.
