Condition
Board is sound. Surface retains an extremely rich and textured impasto. There are some minor losses on the extreme lower right and lower left corners due to prior frame abrasion. Under UV light: the thick layer of varnish is somewhat difficult to read through and some original pigments fluoresce. Strokes of inpainting are evident at extreme lower corners due to the aforementioned frame abrasion, as well as a few very small strokes on the upper edge near the upper left corner. Otherwise fine, this work is in very good condition.
