Condition Report:
Minor dirt to the surface of the plaster, in particular to the crevices. The plaster appears to have been repatinated, with a slightly darker color visible underneath in some places. Several areas of craquelures throughout the plaster, in particular to her chin, her proper right shoulder, the back of the sofa, as well as to some folds of her dress. Some greenish discoloration to the patina in several places, notably to her proper right shoulder, the back and edges of the sofa, as well as to the edges of the terrace. Several losses to the plaster, consistent with age and handling, in particular along the lower edges of the terrace.

Provenance:
Collection Charles Pomaret, Nice ;

Sa vente, 22 mars 1976, Hôtel Drouot, Paris.
