Condition
The medium is oil on canvas. The canvas is not lined. The work is in overall condition. There is some mild cracquelure throughout, of note is the faint circular network in the upper central portion of the picture plane. There is possibly a small area repaired craquelure in the flowers of the hat, but does not fluoresce. There is a varnish which fluoresces green. The colors are strong and the work presents very well.
