Condition
This work is good condition overall, as is the silk, which is free from runs. Upon close observation, there is evidence of very faint foxing on the lady's face, along with pin-sized paint losses sprinkled on her hair. A spot of accretion is visible on the left border. Otherwise, the paint layers are healthy and the colours are bright. No retouching is found under ultraviolet light inspection. Framed.
