Condition

The canvas is not lined and UV examination does not reveal any evidence of retouching. There are a few small areas of paint shrinkage to the green pigments towards the centre of the right edge and two small water stains (probably inherent to the artist's process) to the grey horizontal bar on which the figure is leaning. This work is in overall very good condition.
