Condition
This work on canvas is unlined. It is probably still on its original stretcher. No retouches are visible under ultraviolet light. There are very slight marks in the red color in the upper center which can probably be removed. There are also slightly raised cracks in the upper left quadrant. There is a milky white substance on the surface in the upper right corner and a slightly milky tone to the lower left in the black color. This milkiness is not original but can easily be resolved.
