Condition
The canvas is unlined and the work retains its original stretcher. There is a small break to the canvas below the figure's right eye and there are scattered areas of surface abrasion. Under UV: there is an area of inapainting 1x3 inches in the figure's forehead and small scattered specks in his face. It appears that the left jawline has been slightly reinforced. There are several specks of inpainting the figure's hand, shirt cuff, and elsewhere. The work retains an old varnish.
