Condition

There is evidence of light wear to the edges of the canvas due to light abrasions from the frame, but this does not take away from the overall quality of the work. Upon close inspection, areas of spotted, brown discoloration, consistent with age, are visible. There is a brown accretion at the woman's left sleeve and a 1 3/4 inch diagonal accretion visible at the left side of the woman. There is one pinhole sized area of paint loss to the blue pigment at the upper left quadrant. There are fresh accretions visible at the upper right edge and the upper and lower right quadrants, easily removable through light cleaning. Framed.
