Condition
The canvas is not lined. There is an uneven milky varnish preventing the UV light from fully penetrating, however there do not appear to be any signs of retouching visible under UV light. There is an area of stabilised craquelure (approx. 6.cm long) between the woman's proper right arm and torso, another area to the woman's neck and some further fine lines of stable craquelure in places. This work is in overall good condition.
