Condition

Very good condition. Original canvas. Surface is slightly dirty. There is some minor craquelure in the upper right corner in the background. There is a layer of varnish on the surface, areas of which fluoresce under UV light. A few pinhead-size dots of inpainting in the background are visible under UV light. Otherwise, fine.
