Back of a framed canvas showing a wooden stretcher, a crossbar, paper labels at the top, and a dark woven frame.

Back of an oil painting on canvas in a wooden stretcher and frame

The reverse of a canvas is shown within a wooden stretcher and a dark, woven-textured outer frame. Paper labels and small handwritten marks appear near the top edge, and the stretcher bar crosses the lower half. The image shows only the unpainted back, so the sitter and artist named in the record cannot be seen.
