Condition
The canvas is not lined, there are spots of retouching at intermittent intervals along the top edge, the top left edge, the top right edge (probably to cover frame rubbing), a line of intermittent spots running horizontal to the top edge above the model's hair, throughout the lower left corner, towards the centre of the left edge, a 2 by 3cm. spot to the bottom right edge and the only retouching to the subject is 6 specks to her right cheek. All retouching is visible under UV light. This work is in good condition.
Colours: Fairly acccurate although the colours are overall much brighter in the original.
