Condition
The canvas is not lined. UV examination reveals two small retouchings to the knee of the lower leg. There is a tiny paint loss to the lower right corner and a few slightly raised lines of craquelure to the left part of the face. Otherwise this work is in overall good condition.
Colours: Overall fairly accurate in the printed catalogue, though the pink is slightly more purple in the original when compared to the catalogue illustration.
