This work is in very good condition overall. The canvas is unlined and well-stretched. The media layer is stable overall. A few minor scattered pinpoint spots of media loss are present in the lower left corner of the canvas. Minor wear is present along the extreme edges of the canvas. The work is very lightly soiled overall. A one-inch vertical surface scuff is present at the extreme lower center edge, to the right of the figure. Under ultraviolet light examination, fluorescence occurs along the extreme right edge of the canvas which may be inherent to the pigments utilized by the artist.
