Condition

The canvas is not lined. There is an intermittant line of retouching along the extreme upper edge, a pinhead-sized spot of retouching towards the upper right corner, a small area of retouching to the centre of the right edge, a 1 cm. sq. area of retouching to the lower right corner and a further small line of retouching towards the lower left corner, all visible under UV light and mostly all to cover frame rubbing. Apart from some small spots of gold paint residule to the upper right corner (not visible when framed), this work is in good condition. Colours: Overall fairly accurate, although the figure's hair is browner and the colours are overall slightly stronger and deeper in the original.
