Condition

The work is in good condition overall, as is the canvas, which is clear and taut. There is evidence of minor wear and handling around the edges of the painting but does not take way from the overall quality of the work. The paint layers are healthy. Examination under ultraviolet light shows stripes of restoration on the woman's headscarf and on the top and right corners. However, this is not visible with the naked eyes. Framed.
