Condition
The painting is in very good condition. The board is sound, but is supported by a lattice of stretchers. Very small losses to the pigment around the extreme perimeters, due to frame abrasion. Under UV, a spot of inpainting in the extreme upper left corner and a pindot stroke of inpainting in the upper right corner.
