Condition
Canvas is not lined. Some minor frame rubbing is visible along the bottom edge. Under UV light: several strokes of inpainting are visible in the left half of the sky, and four strokes are present in the right half of the sky. In addition, numerous pin-dot retouches are visible on the figure's face, mostly on the nose and forehead. A few scattered pin-dot retouches are visible in the figure's cheek and neck. The evident inpainting has been sensitively executed, and the work is in generally good condition overall.
