Condition
The canvas is strip-lined. UV examination reveals two small spots of retouching to the upper two corners, and a cross-shaped area of retouching towards the figure's chin, which relates to a repaired tear. Otherwise, this work is in overall fairly good condition.
Colours: overall fairly accurate in the printed catalogue, though the background is slightly less red in the original and there are no white flecks in the background.
