Condition
The canvas is not lined. There is a network of hairline craquelure, particularly apparent in the white pigment, and a 0.5cm loss in the black background near the centre of the upper edge. Examination under UV light reveals a patch of retouching on the green on the figure's chest, a 2cm spot in the orange at the bottom right of the figure, and some scattered spots in the green towards the lower left corner. Otherwise this work is in good condition.
