Dorothy, daughter of F.J. Elliott Esq.

拍品的状况可能存在极大差异，而由于其性质使然，拍品难以处于完美无瑕的状态。拍品均以拍卖时的状况出售。

The canvas has been lined and is on a new stretcher which is providing good support. The pigments are fresh and stable. There are some minor frame abrasions to the edges of the painting. There is a very minor speck of paint loss to the fur. There are also some areas of light craquelure to the upper left edge and the lower left edge, as well as to the sitter's dress and legs.

Examination under UV presents retouching to the frame abrasions, particularly to the upper edge and upper right corner, as well as the left edge. Scattered retouchings are visible to the sitter's face, torso and left arm. There is infilling to the aforementioned craquelure in the background, the most extensive infillings are to the sitter's skirt and legs. These areas may be consistent with the canvas having been rolled at some stage.
However, the restoration has been very sensitively and competently executed and the picture needs no further attention.
