Painting on original canvas.
From a first hand inspection a light craquelure is visible over the materical areas over the forearm, the dress and sheets.
The ultra violet light reveals light fluorescent varnish more evident where white with zinc has been used.
Some retouches are visible over the arm, the sheet and between the dress and hairs. Two more restoration are visible over the top left hand side corner and along the lower edge on the right hand side (cm 5x1 circa). Other retouches over the white area of the pillow and sheet.
The overall condition as to the state of preservation is quite good.
