Condition
The canvas is not lined. UV examination reveals some areas of fluoresence to the woman's body that are not characteristic of retouching, and which would appear to be the artist's reworkings at a later date. There is some slight frame rubbing to areas of all four extreme edges, some very minor craquelure and some fine surface scratches towards the upper right corner. Otherwise, this work is in overall good condition.
