Condition
Oil on unlined canvas. The picture surface is in generally good condition aside from an unevenly applied varnish. Under UV light, there are areas of inpainting visible in the lower corners and along the upper edge. There is a small spot of inpaint in the figure's left thigh and below her left breast. Some pigments appear to fluoresce due to application either over varnish (the contours of the figure's lower legs) or in unvarnished areas (in the background above and to the left of the figure's head).
