Acquired by the present owner circa the 1980s

This work is in very good condition. The canvas has not been lined. The surface is slightly dirty consistent with age. Under UV light there is a pindot of inpainting in the upper center in the figure's hair, in the extreme upper right corner, in the lower right corner and a few scattered spots to the left side of the figure's nose. Otherwise fine.
