Condition
The board bows slightly towards the lower and upper left corners but otherwise appears stable. There are one or two tiny scratches in the upper left quadrant, only visible upon extremely close inspection, and a very slight rub to the left of the central woman's torso. There are one or two instances of studio matter and very light surface dust. Subject to the above, the work appears in excellent overall condition. Inspection under ultraviolet light reveals no obvious signs of fluorescence or retouching. The work is held in a stained wooden frame. Please telephone the department on +44 (0) 207 293 6424 if you have any questions regarding the present work.
