Condition
This work is in good and sound condition overall. There is evidence of craquelure surrounding the right side of the figure's nose but the paint appears stable. There are scattered smudges and dust accumulations across the surface. The patched fabric tape covering the surface is fraying at the edges which is inherent to the artist's working method.
