The largest areas of retouch lie at lower center and upper left.
When the painting was removed from its frame, we were able to see a small
tack hole at the lower center edge and a small nick at the upper center edge, presumably where another tack once held the canvasboard in place when the artist was working.
No additional condition issues to report.
