Condition
This work is in good condition. The canvas is lined. There is some very stable craquelure in the pink flower at center left. There is a scratch to the canvas extending from the figure's right eye to the left edge of her lip. Under UV light: there is a U-shaped peripheral area of inpainting 1 1/2 inch wide to the upper left of the bouquet. There are a few extremely minor strokes of inpainting along the edges of the canvas, presumably to address old frame abrasion.
