Condition
This painting has been lined. The surface is smooth and the painting has recently been cleaned. Under UV, inpainting fluoresces in all 4 corners, as well as in spots in the dark areas of rock in the upper left, in the haunches of the foregrounded leopard, and in a 3 inch vertical line in the lower right, presumably to address a superficial scratch.
