There are some minor traces of light studio detritus, and a tiny fleck of very minor loss to the lower left of the subject's dress, only visible upon very close inspection. There is some minor craquelure to the black and brown pigments, most prominent to the face of the subject. This excepting the work appears in very good overall condition.
Ultraviolet light reveals areas of fluorescence which appear in keeping with the nature of the materials and do not suggest retouchings.
