Condition
The canvas is lined, the paint surface is dirty, and the varnish is discoloured and uneven. There are numerous losses and discoloured retouchings throughout, clearly visible in the catalogue illustration. Inspection under ultraviolet light does not reveal anything more than what is visible to the naked eye, and makes more obvious the restoration around the saint's eye, upper lip, and chin, as well as the unevenness of the varnish. In overall moderate condition.
