Lined canvas. Minor frame abrasion and a very few small repaired tears at edges. Stretcher bar marks very faintly visible under raking light at left and right edges. Yellowing to the varnish layer. Finely patterned craquelure throughout. Some scattered very small of surface abrasion and minor loss. This lot is offered unframed.
Under UV: heavily applied varnish fluoresces green unevenly and appears to have been removed in some areas. An older treatment campaign is visible beneath the varnish layer as scattered small dots and dashes of finely applied retouching to the figure's hair and costume. A more recent campaign above the varnish is comprised of dots and dashes of retouching along edges and background, with a very few small dashes affecting the lower half of the figure's robe.
