Condition

This work is in very good condition overall. The canvas has very slight evidence of buckling in the upper and lower right corners. There is a 2 inch diagonal surface abrasion below the figure's chin. Under Ultraviolet light inspection, there is a linear section on the extreme left that fluoresces brightly, which appears to be a surface accretion. There is no evidence of restoration. Framed.
