Condition

This work is in good overall condition as viewed. There is evidence of light wear along the edges and corners of the work due to abrasions with the frame, but this does not affect the overall image as the paint layers are healthy overall. Examination under ultraviolet light reveals areas of restoration along the edges of the canvas, some small areas of restoration at the hat, eyes, flute, sarong and a few more areas of restoration at the background, primarily at the bottom quadrants. Framed.
