Condition
The canvas has not been relined. When examined under UV light, there is evidence of scattered minor repainting to the upper right and upper left background, as well as some retouching to the area left of the figure's proper right elbow. There are very minor losses to pigment in the red background next to her proper right shoulder.
The painting is in very good condition.
