Condition
Executed on board laid down on canvas. There are four artist's pinholes along the edges in the upper half of the composition. The corners of the board are irregular and there is a small nick to the centre of the left edge. A close inspection reveals a small tear running horizontally from the centre of the left edge and two sinuous 4cm tears in the board towards the centre of the left edge (as visible in the catalogue illustration) which have been retouched, almost certainly by the artist during the laying down process. There is some very minor shrinkage visible in the pigment around the figure's shoulder and in the 'shadow' under the chair. There are a few tiny spots of paint-loss towards the lower left corner. There is no further evidence of retouching visible under UV light. This work is in overall good condition.
