Oil on canvas, with an old lining. There is some thinness and minor abrasion in the background and hair, but the face of the subject remains clear. In areas, the canvas weave is visible. Under UV light, the majority of the work is covered by a varnish that obscures the picture surface. There is an area of retouching at upper left. Minor scattered retouching in the subject's eyes, the shadows of her eyes, center of her forehead, and to address the visible canvas weave in her face. Framed in a gilt framed and ready to hang in its current condition.
