Condition

It has not been possible to see the work entirely unframed. The canvas is not lined. There is a milky varnish preventing UV light from fully penetrating, however examination under UV light appears to reveal no evidence of retouching. There are two small holes at the lower and upper left corners. There are lines of stable craquelure in areas notably around the face. There is frame rubbing along the extreme edges. There is some superficial dirt ingrained to the varnish. Impasto is rich. This work is in overall very good condition and could benefit from a light clean.
