Condition
The canvas is not lined. Examination under UV reveals some spots of retouching to the upper and lower edges consistent with frame rubbing. There are some minor areas of pigment loss in the lower left corner and to the right of the figure's hat. There is some shrinkage, particularly to the deep pink pigment and to the blue pigment. The work is in overall good condition.
