Condition
The canvas in not lined. There is some abrasion to the edges and a network of stable hairline craquelure, particularly visible in the cream background. Under UV light a round 1cm spot of retouching fluoresces to the left of the upper figure, with some thin, minor lines on the body of the woman and a 4cm vertical stroke near the centre of the right edge. Otherwise this work remains in good overall condition.
