Condition
Framed: 17 x 13 3/4 x 2 1/2 inches.Moderate deposits of surface dirt and dust; instances of pinpoint white paint droplets scattered throughout; one small area of inpainting in the upper left corner, within the background, as well as one small spot of inpainting in the boy's right knee, only visible under raking light; under a highly reflective varnish. Under UV light: the aforementioned areas of inpainting fluoresce; the varnish prohibits viewing older campaigns of possible inpainting, but additional areas of inpainting include strokes around both of the boy's arms, as well as pinpoint spots scattered through the lower half of the composition; the area within the boy's chest and along the left edge of the violin appear to have been selectively cleaned of varnish. Additional images available upon request.
