Condition
Work is in good condition. Canvas is stretched over a panel and could benefit from restretching. Surface is dirty with a layer of varnish. Under UV light: scattered strokes of inpainting around extreme edges to address prior frame abrasion. A small area of cracking has been inpainting in dark brown pigments to right of figure's hair. A similar slightly smaller area has also been inpainted to below the figure's left hand, otherwise fine.
