Purchased at the above sale by the present owner

Condition

The canvas has not been lined. The canvas is very slightly undulating and could benefit from being tapped out. Ultraviolet light reveals only minor signs of retouching: addressing frame rubbing along the extreme edges, a small stroke in the lower left of the figure's shawl, and a few minor scattered spots. This work is in good condition. Presented in an elaborate gilt frame, wtih an inner black-painted slip with a decorative motif.
