Condition
The work is overall in good condition, except for some very minor craquelures near the centre of the painting, which are visible only upon close inspection. From the reverse, a small patch of 4-cm in length is affixed to the canvas. Examination under UV light reveals minor signs of retouching across the overall surface.
