Condition
The canvas has not been lined. The paint layer is a bit thin in some places. Thin lines of stable cracking are visible at top center above the figure's hair. Under UV light: certain pigments fluoresce though a masking layer of varnish is difficult to read through. Overall the work is in good condition.
