Condition
The canvas is lined. The surface is in overall good condition aside for craquelure that appears to be lifting slightly in the upper left corner. There are a few minor losses in the background to the left of the figure's head and at the edge of her sleeve in the lower left side. Inspection under UV reveals retouches in the figures' hair, on the left side of her bust and scattered in the background to the right of the figures' head.
