Condition
The canvas is lined, a part from two square areas which are unlined located on the upper half where the inscriptions are. UV examination reveals intermittent spots forming a fine vertical line of retouching to the upper part of the left edge, a spot of retouching to the center of the whole pigment at the center left. A few intermittent spots along the right edge. Some fine and stable lines of craquelure. This work is in overall good condition.
