Under UV light: a 6 inch line of inpainting extends from the upper edge down 3 inches left of the right edge. Small losses in pink pigment below the tabletop have been filled with about a dozen strokes of inpainting. Other small dots are visible in white fabric and back of her pink gown. A few other small strokes elsewhere. The work is stable and can be hung as is. Otherwise fine.
