Condition:

framed: 67.5 by 65cm., 26? by 25?in. There is a faint crack to the paint surface measuring approximately 40mm. long within the lower left corner of the work as well as some minor cracking networks along the lower right hand edge, starting approximately 120mm. from the lower right corner. There are also a handful of small scattered minor cracks within the sitter's body (mainly on her back and legs). All of the above appear stable and are only visible on close inspection. Inspection under UV light shows some possible retouching to the centre of the right hand edge, an area measuring approximately 100mm by 10mm. Overall, the work appears to be in very good and stable condition.
