STRUCTURE
This picture is unlined and in very good condition with rich colouring throughout. There are no signs of craquelure. The picture is ready to hang.
UNDER ULTRAVIOLET LIGHT
The varnish appears opaque but there are small areas of retouching visible to the girl's extended finger and along the lower edge of the canvas where the paint surface had been rubbed by the rebate of the frame. There is also a small area of retouching in the upper right corner. None of the retouchings appear to be excessive and have been expertly applied.
FRAME
This picture is contained in a moulded gilt frame of laurel design (in excellent condition).
