Condition

The following condition report was kindly provided by Simon Parkes Art Conservation, Inc.: This painting has a lining applied perhaps with wax. The paint layer is clean and varnished. There are faintly visible raised cracks to the surface but the paint layer is stable. Under ultraviolet light, retouches are visible in the fabric above the left bicep, where cracks have been retouched. There are a few retouches in the chin, in the right shoulder, in the bicep, in the elbow as well. There are also spots of retouching in the back of the cat and on the far left edge near the upper left corner. The condition is very fresh. The lining could be reversed at some point to eliminate the cracking, but the painting could be hung in its current condition.
