Condition

The work is in good condition overall. There is a minute area of paint loss located directly a top the woman's head near the edge of the work, but this is only visible upon very close inspection. Minor signs of wear around the edges, and very small cracquelures where the paint layer impastos are thick. However this is due to the age of the work, and does not effect the condition of the piece. Under ultraviolet light inspection there are very scattered signs of retouching, notably above the woman's waist and head. Framed.
