The painting is very dirty woth a dull surface. There are many tiny paint losses at left, with a larger loss at the lower right corner, and small losses at upper left and along the top. There are some areas that fluoresce, but they do not appear to be retouching. This is true of some of the red-based pigments. There may be some retocuhes in the lower left corner; other possible areas are in the background left and right of the figure
