Oil on board. Nailed to a stretcher at the extreme edges, from the time of execution. The board has come away from the stretcher in places. Minor frame abrasion with a few tiny associated paint losses in places. Three small spots of surface dirt to the woman's right leg towards the lower right edge. Examined under ultra-violet light: nothing shows. Subject to the foregoing, it is our opinion that the work appears to be in generally very good condition.
