Condition
The canvas has been relined. The picture surface is in generally good condition aside from a minor, stable web of inpainting that has been inpainted. Under UV, the varnish fluoresces green and is difficult to read through. There are some very small areas of inpainting scattered across the upper quarter of the work, especially close to the upper edge, and along the lower edge. There is also an area of inpainting along the right edge of the sitter's neck.
