The canvas has been relined and is providing a reasonable support for the picture. There is an aged varnish and surface dirt, with some minor scuffs and abrasions along the edges, consistent with frame wear. There is a pattern of craquelure to the paint surface, which appears more prominent at present because of the dried old varnish.
There a a few minor repairs visible in natural light, including a small square shaped patch upper left, and a small irregular patch repair on her dress lower centre, with associated retouching and some lifting paint. The examination under UV reveals further scattered retouching, especially to the darker tones. The picture presents well overall, although cleaning and revarnishing would likely prove rewarding in restoring clarity and depth of colour.
