Some pigment shrinkage throughout, most notably to the pink pigment in the background and the black of the figure's hair. Under UV light: scattered strokes of inpainting along the edges to address aforementioned frame abrasion. A larger approximately three inch line of inpainting to the upper left corner. Some strokes in the figure's face and clothing. This work is in overall good condition.
