拍品的狀況可能存在極大差異,而由於其性質使然,拍品難以處於完美無瑕的狀態。拍品均以拍賣時的狀況出售。
This painting is executed on canvas and is unlined. The canvas is slightly slack on its support. There are overall scattered pigment losses, most notably to the lower edge and dark background. There are two patches affixed to the reverse to address previous restoration to the immediate right of her proper left eye and to background near the left edge at center. The paint layer is stable and under a clear varnish that has yellowed with age. There is an overall uneven network of craquelure and marks ion the recto which correspond to the stretcher. Under natural light, retouching to minimize the appearance of craquelure and to address pigment loss is visible. There is a circular area of retouching to the upper edge at right of center. Inspection under ultraiovlet light is largely impeded by an opaque varnish. The painting's appearance could be improved bu cleaning the surface dirt and revarnishing, however the painting could be hung in its present state. The painting is offered in a gilt wood and painted frame.
