Condition
The canvas has been lined. The colors are fresh although the surface is a bit dirty and would benefit greatly from a light surface cleaning. Under UV light: certain pigments fluoresce and minor areas of inpainting are apparent to the extreme outer edges, likely to address frame abraision, as well as a couple broader strokes to the background at top right and left. An uneven layer of varnish prevents a conclusive analysis, but the work is in overall very good condition..
