Condition

Oil on canvas, unlined. The canvas is somewhat slack and there are undulations and small bumps to the canvas, especially in the sky. There are areas of craquelure throughout the sky and some minor pigment separation in the figure. Under UV light, there is inpainting along the extreme edges. Some of the pigments in the sky fluoresce, though these are likely glazes used by the artist. In overall good condition.
