Condition

The canvas has been relined. Ultra-violet light reveals scattered minor spots of cosmetic retouching in the woman's body, a small area across her right foot (possibly addressing an old repair), and some other signs, which are very minor given the overall size of the painting. The work is otherwise in good condition and ready to hang. Presented in a decorative gilt frame.
