Exhibited
Royal Academy, 1911, no.216
Condition
Original canvas. A craquelure pattern across the surface. There are some localised areas of paint loss to the central girl's hair and the drapery below her left arm. The varnish is dirty and the work should respond well to cleaning.
Under ultraviolet light it is difficult to read the work conclusively but there appear to be no signs of retouching.
Held in a simple gilt frame.
