Condition
The medium is oil on canvas. The canvas is not lined. There is paper tape around the edges of the canvas. The work is in very good overall condition. There is some very minute undulation to the canvas. There is good impasto throughout. There is one point where some of the impasto has been lost, in the toes of the figure's right shoe, just above the edge. Under UV: no apparent inpainting. The colors are fresh and the work presents very well.
