Condition
The board is stable. There are some intermittent brushstrokes of retouching to the upper left corner and five 2cm. lines of retouching to the figure's torso, visible under UV light. There are areas of fluorescence throughout the composition, intrinsic to the artist's materials and visible under UV light. This work is in good condition.
Colours: Overall fairly accurate although the tones are overall less red in the original.
