London, Crane Kalman, October 2000 (details untraced).
Condition
Sound board.
There is a very tiny, single light surface abrasion visible to the centre of the extreme left hand edge, only visible upon extremely close inspection. There appear to be a few further specks of loss to the red pigment in the wall, which might be inkeeping with the artist's working method. There are further tiny traces of very light craquelure to the woman's black cloth. This excepting the work appears in excellent overall condition.
Ultraviolet light reveals no obvious signs of fluorescence or retouching.
Housed in an ornate plaster and painted frame.
