Condition
Canvas is unlined. There is minor frame abrasion at the extreme lower left corner. There are brush hairs scattered throughout. Under UV light there are two small lines of inpainting: one on the extreme upper right corner, the other on the center of the extreme bottom edge. In addition there are several pin-dots of pigment which fluoresce near the foot of the central figure, but do not appear to be retouching. This work is in very good condition.
