Condition
This work is in good condition overall. The colors are bright, fresh and clean. There is evidence of light wear and handling along the edges. Under very close inspection there are three minor indentations to the canvas in the upper right corner. Under Ultraviolet light inspection, a 13-inch long vertical line from the right side of the pelvis and scattered minor areas throughout fluoresce darkly and appear to have benefitted from restoration. Unframed.
