Condition Report:
The canvas is thinly lined and stable on its stretcher. The overall image reads well under a clear varnish. A minor area of previous restoration along the hairline of the sitter's left side is slightly discolored, however, this is not distracting. Under UV inspection, the aforementioned area fluoresces as well as small areas of retouching in the background on the right side and in the lacing of the bodice. The painting can be hung in its current state. Offered in a carved giltwood frame.
