Condition

This work is still on its original stretcher. The heavy paint layer is clean and in beautiful condition. The original pigment is naturally very shiny. It reads very strongly under ultraviolet light throughout. Retouches cannot be identified, and it is highly unlikely that there are any. The work should be hung in its current state.
