Condition

Canvas is lined. There is a layer of varnish on the surface. There are two pindot nicks to the surface in the extreme lower left corner. Under UV light scattered pindots of inpainting fluoresce, mostly in the center of the right half and around the lower left corner of the canvas. These are all quite small and there are no significant restorations visible. This work is in good condition.
