Condition
Oil on canvas. The work has an old lining. The canvas is somewhat relaxed on the stretcher. The picture surface is in generally good condition aside from some minor flattening throughout. Under UV light, there are a few small scattered areas of inpaint in the upper right corner and behind the sitter's ear. There are also a few areas of fluorescence in the bouquet at upper left, but that appears to be the result of the artist painting over the varnish. In overall good condition.
