Condition
Work is in fairly good condition. The canvas has been lined and the edge of the original canvas is somewhat irregular and visible in places along the extreme edges. There are losses to the pigment at extreme edges, particularly at center of upper edge. A layer of varnish on the surface is somewhat yellowed. Under UV light: a nail head sized spot of discolored inpainting near center of top edge fluoresces. Some inpainting along lower edge to address losses, otherwise fine.
