Condition
To the naked eye:
The painting appears in not very good condition.
The painting appears under a old dirty varnish.
It has been relined quite strongly.
We notice numerous spots of old restorations all over the composition that need to be redone.
We notice a small loss next to his left foot (visible on the picture).
Under UV light:
The painting appears under a green uniform varnish.
We can notice numerous restorations all over the composition : on the sky, body, face and lower zone.
In conclusion:
The painting is still very powerful and unusual but needs some intervention to recover its full potential.
