Condition

The canvas is unlined. The colors are bright and fresh. There are a few pin dots of loss at the extreme lower left corner. Under UV light: a layer of varnish is somewhat difficult to read through. However, there appears to be pin dots of old retouching below the figure's left leg and possibly a few spots along the right edge; otherwise fine. This work is in very good condition.
