Condition

This work is in fairly good condition. The canvas is not lined. There are four lines of retouching to the centre of the top edge, the largest of which is 5cm. in length. There are very small intermittent spots of retouching, mainly throughout the centre of the canvas and in the figure's clothes, including two 5cm. lines of retouching towards the centre of the bottom edge. There are lines of retouching at intervals to the right edge and right corner, probably to cover previous frame rubbing. All retouching is visible under UV light.
