Provenance
Gifted by the Artist to the present owner in the mid-1970s
Condition
The board appears sound. There is a small loss to the upper left corner, and several very tiny flecks of loss to the background near the girl's head. There is some flattening to some of the impasto tips in places. There is some light surface dirt and some specks of studio detritus and staining in places, and the work would benefit from a light clean. Subject to the above, the work appears to be in good overall condition.
Ultraviolet light reveals some small spots of fluorescence, which are thought to be in keeping with the Artist's materials.
The work is presented in a painted wooden frame.
