Additional Notes & Condition Report
Frame rubbing with particular wear along the bottom edge. Few scattered paint losses in the lower half of the work, the largest being a 1/4'' area at the bottom of her headdress (lower left). Scattered cracquelure throughout. Dirty varnish, could use a light clean.
Scattered spots of inpainting in the woman's face, as well as her head piece. Varnish makes further detection of inpainting under UV light rather difficult.
