Condition

The painting is in good condition, as is the canvas, which is clear and taut. Examination under ultraviolet light reveals a few spots of retouching on the lower middle, near the bottom, and on the lower right (the empty space on the ground), which are visible only upon UV light examination. There are a few flecks of media accretion (possibly paint) on the upper left and upper right corner. A small spot of paint loss is found on the middle left , upper right edge and middle right. A faint line of horizontal protrusion can be observed on the middle left, accompanied by tiny flecks of paint loss on a few parts (not all), but apart from that the paint layers are well preserved and in good, stable condition.
