Condition
This painting is in beautiful condition. The canvas is unlined. The paint layer is clean and varnished.
The only retouches that have been applied are in the lower left corner addressing a few small blemishes. Elsewhere the condition seems to be perfect. There are numerous pentimenti and some of the original colors show quite strongly under ultraviolet light but none of these areas correspond to retouches. The painting should be hung as is.
