Condition Report:
The canvas is unlined. Inspection under UV light reveals no evidence of retouching. There is paint shrinkage in places, most predominantly towards the figure's chest. There are a few small pigment losses to some of the white impasto in the right half of the composition. This work is in overall very good condition.
