Condition
This work is in very good condition overall. There are slight abrasions along the four edges, and minor pinpoint of paint loss in the bottom left corner. One can see hairline craquelure on the girl's face. The surface is covered in a thin film of dust, with scattered varnish marks, notably one towards the left edge, 50 cm to the bottom. A survey under UV light reveals scattered touch ups across the canvas, particularly across the left and right edges, the girl's face and hair.
