Condition
Oil on panel. The surface is in overall very good condition. Under UV light, the majority of the varnish has been cleaned away, though some areas - such as around the signature and across the center of the sculpture - have remained and fluoresce bright green. There are small scattered dots of retouching visible along the extreme edges; a small spot in the background above the sculpture; and an area to address craquelure in the lower right quadrant.
