This work is in good overall condition as viewed. There is evidence of light wear, fraying and abrasions to the silk along the edges of the work. All other inconsistencies are due to the nature of the medium and the artist's working method. There are some negligible losses to the hair, only visible on close inspection. There are two accretions at the pillow. There is a negligible run to the silk between the lady's eyes, only noticeable upon close inspection. There is a fox mark at the lady's dress, below her arm. Examination under ultraviolet light reveals no sign of restoration as viewed. Framed, under glass. Frame: 52.5 by 66.5 cm
