Condition
The varnish on this painting is discolored, leaving a yellow haze across the whole canvas. There is also very fine areas of craquellure in isolated areas. Under UV, old varnish fluoresces green, inpainting appears in the area of the wall above the cabinet on the right to address fine craquellure, and small touch-ups appear in the seated figure's green dress and in the green cushion on the left.
