This work is in very good condition. The canvas has been lined onto a rough piece of burlap. The work is cleaned and varnished. There are very few retouches. They are mostly in the dark colors of the hair beneath the hat, in the tree trunk on the left side and in a few spots in the lower right corner. There are no retouches in the sky or face. The only retouches in the figure are in the darkest shadows of the clothing. The work should be hung in its current condition.
