Condition
This work is in good condition. There are four holes each on the top and right edges that are presumably inherent to the artist's choice of material, and light abrasions along the four edges. On the front side, there is short and light craquelure towards the left edge, about 18 cm from the bottom. On the back, there is a minor paint flaking at the bottom, 13 cm from the right; a 3-cm light craquelure by the right edge, 10 cm from the bottom; and a small paint loss on the right edge, 14 cm from the bottom. No restoration is apparent under UV.
