Bon état général. La toile est d'origine. Après examen sous la lampe de wood, retouches visibles tout le long du côté droit et du côté supérieur, probablement dû au frottement avec le cadre. Deux retouches de 3 cm de long au pigment brun-vert du fond, à droite du personnage à l'angle inférieur droit. Quelques petite retouches éparses au pigment brun-vert au centre du côté gauche. Pour tout renseignement complémentaire sur ce lot merci de contacter le département au +33.1.53.05.52.81 This work is in good condition The canvas is not lined. Examination under UV light reveals intermittent lines of retouching running along the right and upper edges, possibly due to frame-rubbing. There are two 3cm lines of retouching in the green-brown pigment of the background to the right of the figure in the lower right quadrant. Some scattered spots of retouching in the green-brown pigment towards the centre of the left edge.
