Condition
Oil on canvas laid down on board; the board is stable. Examination under UV light reveals some scattered spots of retouching to the upper right quadrant and in some places to the lower quarter of the composition. There are some spots of paint loss to the pink and white pigments visible in the catalogue illustration. This work could benefit from a light clean. This work is in overall fairly good condition.
