Condition

The canvas has been lined. The colors appear fresh while the impasto is will preserved, creating a nice surface texture. Under UV light: no signs of inpainting are apparent though certain pigments fluoresce and a layer of varnish prevents a conclusive analysis. The work is in very good condition.
