Condition
Original canvas. There is a layer of discoloured varnish and there are fine lines of craquelure in places throughout. Examination under UV light reveals a few flecks of retouching to the girl's face and below her right ear but presence of an opaque layer of varnish prevents a more conclusive analysis. Held in a gold painted carved wooden frame. Unexamined out frame. The reverse of the canvas has been covered with a protective board.
