Condition
This work is restored and could be hung in its current condition. The retouching is quite good. It can clearly be seen under ultraviolet light throughout the white banner across the bottom of the picture, in small dots around the edges, in the face of the figure, in her neck, in her arms, in her clothing. The white oblong object being held on the right of the picture also shows retouches. While quite extensively restored, the picture is not abraded.
