Condition
The canvas is not lined. UV examination reveals a few spots of retouching to all four corners and in places along the left edge. There are a further few spots of retouching to the sitter's right cheek and a spot to the left of her shawl. There are a few fine lines of craquelure to the flowers and in places to the sitter's coat. Otherwise this work is overall very good condition.
