The following condition report was kindly provided by Simon Parkes Art Conservation, Inc.: This painting, like its mate, has been lined using Beva-371 as an adhesive. It is stretched onto a new stretcher. Apart from the in-painting on the lower left edge in the corner and a dot in the upper left corner, there are no other retouches. Any thinness to the paint layer is intentional by this artist and is not the result of abrasion.
