Condition
The medium is oil on canvas, not lined. There is some minor frame abrasion with a small associated loss along the bottom visible edge, right of center, in the purple bow. There is some fine pigment separation and cracquelure throughout, mainly in the red skirt, black shirt and the dark greens and browns of the floral elements. There is no apparent inpainting when viewed under UV light, but a small portion of the light turquoise pigment in the upper left corner fluoresces bright white-yellow.
