Condition

This painting is not lined and has recently been cleaned. There is evidence of faint horizontal craquelure, suggesting that the painting had once been rolled. Otherwise, the surface is in generally good condition. Under UV, 3 dashes of touch ups fluoresce to the left of her head, as well as in the foliage on the right side of the canvas.
