Condition

This work is in good overall condition as viewed. There is evidence of paint shrinkage at the neck, proper right arm and below the chin of the figure, but this is consistent with the nature of the medium. Examination under ultraviolet light reveals scattered spots of restoration at the headdress, bodice and background near the feet of the figure. Framed.
