The painting is reinforced on the reverse with a glue lining. The paint layer is stable and there is a fine craquelure across the surface. The varnish is clear. There is some scuffing along the extreme right edge. Inspection under ultraviolet light revealed an opaque varnish which fluoresces green. There is an anomaly in this varnish which is visible in natural light as an uneven line of color across the sitter’s neck and the surrounding background. Ultraviolet light also revealed some strengthening to the contours of the sitter’s hairstyle. The painting should be displayed in its current condition and is offered in a decoratively carved and giltwood frame.
