Condition
The canvas is unlined and well stretched. The canvas is composed of two separate pieces sewn together. There is significant and heavy craquelure throughout the work particularly in the corners and through the center of the work. The most significant line of craquelure extends the width of the work in the center. Under ultraviolet light, 6 in. of this central crack has been inpainted most likely due to prior lifting in the figure's shawl. There are also several 2 in. diagonal lines of inpainting in the lower right corner to the right of the signature. There is an additional 1 in. area of inpainting in the center of the main donkey's ears. There is also scattered inpainting on the right side of the upper edge. Overall this work appears to be in stable condition.
