Condition

Oil on unlined canvas. The canvas is slightly slack on the stretcher. The picture surface is in generally good condition aside from an unevenly applied varnish and some minor pigment separation in the darks of the coats. Under UV light: some of the red pigments, especially those in the merchant's face, fluoresce under UV.
