Condition
Oil on card laid down on canvas. The surface is in overall good condition aside from a very minor fine web of craquelure over the entire surface. There are very faint seams along the left and lower edges. Under UV light, there is inpainting visible along these noted seams as well as around them. There is additional inpainting visible at scattered along the extreme edges, thought especially ibn the upper right quadrant. There is also old varnish that fluoresces in the subject's neck and chest area as well as around her nose and in her face.
