Condition
Paper laid down on canvas. There is a thick milky varnish preventing the UV light from fully penetrating, however there do not appear to be any signs of retouching. There are artist's pinholes to the upper two corners and lower left corner. There is a small dent with some surface loss to the lower left quadrant. There is a fine line of craquelure to the thick white impasto to the upper left corner and a diagonal hairline crack (approx. 5cm. long) to the lower centre, both entirely stable. This work is in overall good condition.
