Condition
The canvas is unlined and tightly stretched and the work has been recently cleaned. There are some losses to the paint surface in the lower center margin and well as by the lower right corner, likely cause by a former framed. There is some scattered small cracks. Under UV light inspection is appears to have been evenly varnished. There is also some fluorescing by the central (white) figure's left shoulder and elbow as well as around the ear.
Overall, the work is in very good condition.
