Condition
This painting is in good condition overall. The canvas is clear and taut. Painting layers are well-preserved. Examination under ultraviolet light reveals minor spots of restoration, mainly found on the bottom margin, the background on the right register (black paint, 7 ½ in.), figure's stomach and shorts. Any surface inconsistencies appear to be inherent to the artist's working methods. Framed.
