Condition
The following condition report was kindly provided by Simon Parkes Art Conservation, Inc.:
This canvas has been lined and stretched onto a very New Age metallic stretcher. The cracking however, is quite raised yet the paint layer is stable. The painting appears to be clean and in very healthy state.
Under ultraviolet light the original paint layer reads fairly strongly in some areas, yet no restorations of any significance appear to have been added. The only retouches that can be positively identified are in the top of the girl's left leg beneath the skirt. Changing the lining and perhaps diminishing the cracking should be considered.
