Condition
Framed: 28 x 26 x 3 in.The unlined canvas in overall good condition. The canvas would likely benefit from a light cleaning. Examination under UV light reveals scattered areas of inpainting at upper left, in the background just above the figure's head, over the figure's right shoulder (associated with a small loss of about 0 1/2 in.) and at left, on the cusp of the figure's neck. With a thick layer of varnish visible throughout. A few light scuffs to the surface area apparent at top right and center left. Additional images available upon request.
