Condition
This painting is stretched on its original stretcher. The original texture is well preserved and the paint layer is stable.
The artist has employed a series of techniques, including scratching and texture application, all of which are clearly visible and in good state. There are no restorations, despite the fact that the upper left edge and upper right edge show some colors very strongly under ultraviolet light.
