Condition

The work appears to be a transfer from an older panel to a new particle board; the original panel had two vertical joins, which are now lifting from the support board; there is some bubbling through the work; retouching along the joins and the rest of the work are visible with the naked eye. Under UV light: fine retouching to the right eye and the left cheek; inpainting to the joins and some other spots in the background.
