Condition

The canvas has not been lined. The colors are fresh and vibrant and the impasto has been well preserved. Minor abrasions are visible to the extreme bottom corners. Under UV light: a 5-inch area of inpainting is visible within the background in the bottom left quadrant. A 1-inch stroke of inpainting is visible within the background at upper right. A few scattered and very minor additional strokes are visible toward the upper outer edges, but the work is otherwise fine and overall in good condition.
