Condition
The canvas is not lined. There appear to be no signs of retouching visible under UV light. There is a very small area of craquelure and a tiny paint loss to the yellow rim, mainly to the helmet of the figure. Apart from a few stains to the surface mainly towards the upper edge, this work is in very good condition.
