Condition
The canvas is lined. There is a layer of varnish preventing UV light from fully penetrating, however UV examination reveals a few spots of fluorescence to the woman's nose. There are some scattered lines of stable craquelure, with some minor associated pigment loss, visible to the left of the woman's headdress. There is some hairline-sized paint loss towards the lower left corner. Otherwise this work is in good condition.
