The canvas is lined. Inspection under UV light reveals an area of retouching (approx. 2.5 by 2.5cm) to the lower right quadrant with a few possible spots elsewhere. There are some flecks of pigment loss towards the lower right edge. There are some fine lines of entirely stable craquelure to the thicker pigment on the boy's head. There is some light surface dirt throughout. This work is in overall good condition.
