Condition
This work is in excellent condition. The canvas is unlined. There are two losses at lower right as well as some minor frame abrasion to all four corners. Under UV light: one possible pindot spot of inpainting at lower left, but no other inpainting is apparent though a varnish makes the painting slightly difficult to read through.
