Condition
Executed on cream wove paper, hinged to the mount at the upper edge and floating in the mount. The upper right and lower edges are slightly lifting off the mount. The right edge is slightly unevenly cut. There are three thin horizontal creases: one to the upper right edge, and two to the left of her torso. There are three scattered small stains to the lower left quadrant. There is some light surface dirt, possibly consistent with the artist's technique. Otherwise, this work is in overall good condition.
Colours: overall fairly accurate though slightly warmer in the original.
