Former collection of Mrs l. Doyne according to a label on the back

Probably, Isabelle de Lannoy, J.-J. Henner : catalogue raisonné, Paris, 2008, n° C.113, p. 251

The specialist has confirmed that it is the n°C113 of the catalogue raisonné. The colours of the photograph are slightly lighter than the original. Small lacks along the edge and a very small lack on the collar (visible on the photograph). Under UV light : Restorations are visible along the frame. Many tiny retouches are scattered on the girl’s face. Thin retouches are visible on the left eyelid. A slightly more important repaint, and a few small repaints are scattered on the background. Under the opaque varnish, we make out fluorescent parts that are much less visible than the above ones, including on the costume, that might correspond to older repaints. In a nice frame. The signature does not stick out under UV light. However, the specialist does not exclude that it could be added or reinforced.
