Condition
This painting is unlined. There is fine craquellure throughout the more heavily painted areas of the painting, and faint horizontal and vertical stretcher bar marks are visible. Craquellure and alligatoring is visible in her dress, particularly in the gold areas and in the bench. There is a small dent (near puncture) under the signature in the lower right. Under UV, a repair to her ring fluoresces.
