Condition
This work is in good overall condition as viewed. There is a small area of paint shrinkage near the rocks near the bottom edge of the work, but this is stable and consistent with the age of the work. Examination under ultraviolet light reveals small spots of restoration scattered on the background of the work, at the boy's face and hat. Framed.
