Condition

Two scratches are visible along the border on the left, as well as small spots that are scattered. The watercolor is slightly insolated : the highlights appear to have faded a bit. The visual is slightly too blue, and the background slightly more beige in reality. The watercolor on the dress appears blue when they are rather light green in reality.
