Condition
This work is in generally good condition with thick impasto. There is stable craquelure throughout, resulting in a few minor losses. There are slightly heavier losses along the left and bottom edge, where the craquelure is heavier. There are two inpainted losses near the center of the right edge. The work has been relined. Examined under ultraviolet light, the two inpainted losses floresce, as well as several areas around the edges of the work, and in the negative space above the figure's head.
