Condition
The canvas has not been lined. There is one small spot of paint flaking in the upper left edge. Ultra-violet light reveals small scattered spots of retouching addressing paint flaking, including some spots in the upper right corner, in the background in the centre right of the composition, in the mirror to the left and in the extreme left edge of the girl's skirt. This picture is otherwise in good condition and ready to hang.
Presented in a brown and gilt frame.
