Condition

Canvas is not lined. The surface is clean and a rich impasto is preserved in the head dress. There are a few pindot losses in the flowers and frame rubbing to the extreme perimeter of the canvas. Under UV light: there maybe a few small retouches at the extreme perimeter near the lower right corner. Layers of uneven varnish also fluoresce in the figure's shirt, but no other inpainting is apparent. The work is in good condition.
