Condition

The canvas is lined. Examination under UV light reveals a thick varnish, which prevents the light from penetrating. However, some minor fine lines and spots of retouching are visible in places, predominantly in the lower right quadrant and to the edges. There is some further inpainting to hairline craquelure on the forehead of the figure. The edges of the work have been supported by restorer's tape, which is not visible when framed. This work appears to be in overall good condition.
