Condition
This painting is in beautiful condition. It is still stretched on its original stretcher. The artist has used a very dry and fresco-like technique here, but the paint layer is stable and shows no cracking or weakness. There are no retouches and although some areas show slightly darker under ultraviolet light these do not correspond to restoration.
