Condition
The canvas has been re-lined, resulting in an uneven surface. There is slight bulging of the canvas in the bottom right as well as in the upper left and some in the right and left side where the canvas begins to curve. There is a large repair in the lower left quadrant, extending up the angel's leg up to his waist. Under UV light inspection, there is scattered restoration throughout, some older and some is more recent. The restoration is predominantly in the white areas as well as in the fold of the angel's blue robe.
