Condition
Oil on paper laid down on canvas. The edge of the sheet is visible along the upper left edge of the work. The picture surface is in generally good condition aside from surface dirt and some minor ripples, likely associated to the laying down of the sheet. Under UV light, there is a repaired tear to the sheet along the upper right edge, as well as along the center of the top edge and the upper left edge. There are dots and dashes of inpainting to address abrasion in the upper right background, and a few small scattered pinpoint dots of inpaint across the rest of the background. In overall good condition.
