Condition
The board is sound. The work features a slightly yellowed layer of varnish and is a bit dirty. There is some abrasion to the outer edges as well as a couple light scuffs to the surface of the painting; one running horizontally across the figure's chest, one to the lower left quadrant and one in a larger area toward the lower right quadrant. Under UV light: a few small pindots of inpainting are present including in the background of the upper left and upper right of the canvas. Otherwise, fine and in good condition.
