Condition
The panel is sound. Apart from small spots of fluorescence where the nails in the panel are fixed, and which is most probably original, UV examination reveals no apparent signs of retouching. There are very fine scattered lines of entirely stable craquelure. There is a fine scratch to the white element at the centre of the composition and a small fleck of paint loss to the pink element towards the centre of the right edge. This work is in overall good condition and may benefit from a light clean.
