Condition
The canvas is lined with wax as an adhesive. Three yellow areas are particularly sensitive, and have received retouching. Under ultraviolet light, restorations cannot be easily identified, but there may also be restoration in the upper left in the pink shape. Cleaning is not recommended, and the work should be hung as-is. (This condition report has been provided courtesy of Simon Parkes Art Conservation, Inc.)
