Condition
The canvas is lined. There is a milky, uneven varnish preventing UV from fully penetrating. However, UV examination reveals small scattered spots and lines of retouching to the light pink drapery along the right edge. There are fine lines of entirely stable craquelure and paint shrinkage in places. The canvas is slightly undulating along the left edge. This work is in overall good condition.
