Condition

Canvas is unlined. Under UV light a few strokes of inpainting at places along the extreme left edge and at the top edge near the upper right corner to address prior frame abrasion. One tiny spot of inpainting in the figure's right should. There is also some visible fluorescence in the face under the figure's eyes that does not seem to be linked to any restoration. Work is in very good condition.
