Condition
The canvas has not been lined. There are darker hues of colour along the four edges which could possibly be associated to discoloured varnish. Ultra-violet light reveals some minor spots of retouching in the girl's nose on the right nostril and on her neck, and other scattered spots in the unfinished area of the painted surface. Although unfinished, the picture is in otherwise good condition.
Presented in a decorative gilt frame.
