Condition

The canvas is unlined and tightly stretched. The surface of the picture has impasto throughout. The areas with heavier paint layers present some cracks but the paint layer appears to be stable. Under UV light inspection, there is inpainting on multiple spots around the edges—particularly, the left, upper and right side. The surface has been evenly varnished. There are scattered areas of inpainting inside the composition: some in the lower half, there's a larger vertical area in the center part of the upper half near the upper edge. Overall, the work is in good condition.
