Condition
The painting appears in relatively good condition. It is still in its original canvas and stretcher. We notice an inverted L-shaped tear in the upper left side, in the column. There is a circular accident of 2 cm. diameter in the upper left corner. There are some open crazes on the right in the green drapery.
Inspection under UV light reveals a green thick uniform varnish. There are restorations on the accidents already mentioned.
