Condition Report:
The canvas is not lined and slightly undulating. Examination under UV light reveals a small dot of retouching (approx. 0.8 cm wide) located 4 cm from lower edge and 9 cm from left edge, a small line of retouching (approx. 2 cm long) to the centre of the lower edge and a few smaller lines and dots of retouching in places, most predominately along the extreme edges. There is some frame rubbing, associated with minor paint losses, along the extreme edges notably to the right part of the lower edge. There are a few thin lines of stable craquelure in places (only visible under close inspection), notably to the model’s proper right cheek. This work is in overall very good condition.
