Condition

Good appearance. Period frame has been re-gilded as likely not original to the painting. The painting has been restored within the last 20-30 years. The composition has been reduced slightly along all edges and some of the original painted canvas folded over the tacking edge likely to fit a smaller frame. The canvas is lined onto mylar (likely to allow for continued visibility of the back of the canvas).. The Artist's inscription, monogram, and date are visible through the mylar on the verso but are difficult to decipher with the current backing. Old stretcher bars have been converted into tension bold stretchers. Retouch is clearly visible under ultraviolet light to th right of the figures hand, scattered along the upper and lower edges, in figure's shoulders and to the right of her nose. UV images and video available upon request.
