Condition
The panel is sound. The extreme lower left corner is scuffed. Examination under UV light reveals no evidence of retouching. There is a small area of minor abrasion associated with a small paint lifting towards the upper left corner. There is a bit of paint shrinkage to the most thickly applied pigment to the donkey's head. Impasto is nice and well preserved. There is some slight glue remnant to the upper left tip. This work is in overall very good condition.
