Condition

This work is in generally good condition overall. The canvas is unlined and well-stretched. Craquelure is present throughout; the paint layer is stable however. Under ultraviolet inspection, three small, circular isolated areas of in-painting are apparent and present in the upper right quadrant (within the white flower above the figure’s head). In-painting is also apparent along the extreme upper edge of the canvas and along the lower portion of the extreme right edge of the canvas.
