Condition
Executed on canvasboard. When examined under UV light, there is no evidence of any restoration or repainting. There is very minor craquelure to the ochre pigment of the figure on the extreme left. There is a pin-sized indentation to each of the four corners. There is some minor surface dirt. The painting is in very good original condition and would benefit from a light clean.
