Condition
The canvas has not been lined. Ultraviolet light reveals some very minor signs of retouching notably a tiny pinhead-sized spot in the figure's chest and left hip and a small spot in her left knee, and some possible small strokes in the background to the left of the lower edge (although these could correspond to the artist's original pigments). This painting is in very good, virtually original condition, and is ready to hang.
Presented in an elaborately ornamented gilt frame, with Islamic motifs.
