Condition

Oil on canvas, lined. The picture surface is in generally good condition. Under UV light: the thick white highlights in the woman's dress fluoresce, as do the pink-red pigments in her hat ribbon and cloak. There is a thin line of inpainting in her forehead and down her nose as well as some older dots of inpainting in the gentleman's waistcoat. There are small scattered areas of inpainting in the house behind her.
