Condition
The canvas has not been lined. Ultraviolet light reveals some scattered signs of retouching, notably 3 spots of restoration (one patched on the reverse) in the wall, left of centre near the upper edge (these are visible to the naked eye and could benefit from reapplication), and some spots in the green cushion, wall above it, and in the shadows through the doorway. There is some fluorescence in the white pigments of the sunlight falling to the left of the figure, however these appear to be the artist's pigments and not retouching. Overall this work is in good condition.
Held in a decorative gilt frame.
The colours are somewhat richer and less green in reality than in the catalogue illustration.
