Condition

This painting has been recently cleaned and restored. It is recommended that it be hung as is. The canvas is unlined, and the original inscription is clearly visible on the reverse. The paint layer is cleaned and lightly varnished. There is an area measuring about 1 inch by ½ an inch that has been retouched in the lower left of the outer ruff of the figure. There is another slightly smaller restoration on the right side of the inner ruff. Apart from these and two or three other tiny retouches, the painting is undamaged.
