Condition
The canvas has a firm lining and a clear and even varnish. There are no major damages visible to the naked eye - only a few surface scuffs and scrapes. The varnish flouresces milky and opaque under ultra violet light making any early restoration hard to read. There are some more recent retouchings visible - the three most notable areas of which are: to a line in the side of the Saint's torso, 3 inches in length; some retouchings to some small damages in his chest, under his right armpit; a thin line of restoration in his cheek, to the right of his mouth. There are other more minor scattered retouchings, but the canvas is in overall seemingly good condition with no further work required.
