This very nice and elegant painting is framed with an old wood frame with a handle in metal on top to hang it; the back of the frame is an old wood panel; there is no glass protecting the painting. There are tiny black paint losses to the right part of hairstyle, and a pink pigment loss to the right chick; also, some convex areas (top left and diagonal from top right to center left) and small crackles overall.
