Condition
The canvas has been relined. There is a pattern of hairline craquelure throughout, mostly prominent in the girl's left shoulder and in her arms. However, it appears to be stable. Inspection under ultra-violet light reveals some scattered retouching, including: - small spots in and around her hair; - strokes in her nose and cheeks, - some areas in her lower neck and left shoulder; and - some other minor spots in and around her dress. Overall, this work presents well and is in good condition. Presented in a decorative gilt frame.
