Condition
This work is in excellent overall condition as viewed, as is the canvas which is clear and taut. Any inconsistency is due to the artist's working method. Examination under ultraviolet light reveals an area of restoration within the left side of the foliage, another at the left side of the floor, a pinhole sized small spot of restoration at the girl's hair and few very small spots within the right side of the foliage. Framed.
