Condition

The medium is oil on canvas. The canvas is not lined. There is some minor frame abrasion with a few very thin and minute losses associated along the left visible edge. There is some surface dirt. Under UV: there are a few small dots and dashes of inpainting: in her proper right leg; one spot to the left of the fruit bowl and one spot in her hair. One of the lighter green pigments appears to fluoresce throughout, possibly in keeping with the artist's technique. There is a varnish which appears light green under UV. The work presents very well overall.
