Condition
The canvas is unlined. There is a small dent to the woman's chest. There is some slight frame rubbing along the extreme edges. There is a small patch on the reverse of the canvas corresponding to a small area of old retouching to the lower part of the left edge above the guitar (approx. 4 by 2 cm) visible under UV light. There are two additional dots of retouching 3 cm below in the red pigment. Apart from some a few thin lines of retouching mainly to the lower part of the right edge, this work is in very good condition.
