Condition
This work has been restored. The canvas has been reinforced around the edges, but it has not been fully lined. The paint layer is stable. The work should be hung in its current condition, although severe cracking is visible in many areas of the surface. In this case, retouches have been added in great number throughout the work. Some of these do show faintly under ultraviolet light. The Torres of the signature is partially lost. (This condition report has been provided courtesy of Simon Parkes Art Conservation, Inc.)
