Condition

The canvas is unlined and well-stretched. There is some minor craquelure visible throughout the figure's hair., with a few minor flecks of paint loss. The paint layer is stable overall, however. There are slight waves to the canvas most visible in the corners. There is intermittent paint loss along the edges, potentially from frame abrasion. Under ultraviolet inspection, fluorescing occurs; however, this is inherent to the nature of the paint selected by the artist.
