Condition
The canvas is unlined and well-stretched. Paint loss is visible to the upper two corners and the lower right corner. A stretcher bar mark is visible along the top edge of the canvas. Three circular stains, that are glossy in appearance, are intermittently spread along the figure's back (specifically on the left shoulder, the mid-back, and the lower back). Paint loss is also present in the lower right quadrant to the bottom edge. Under ultraviolet inspection, three areas of accretions appear in the areas noted above in addition to a small accretion in the center of the bottom edge. Overall, this work is in very good condition.
