Condition
Recto: The canvas is strip lined. A close inspection reveals very minor shrinkage to the darker pigments. UV examination reveals some scattered areas of retouching to the upper part of the figure's head wich could be improved.
This work is in fairly good overall condition.
Colours: fairly accurate in the printed catalogue, though the colours are slightly warmer in the original.
