Additional Notes & Condition Report

Frame rubbing. Visible stretcher marks. Heavy cracquelure throughout, with paint beginning to flake around the woman's face and neck. There are also two 1/4'' inch areas of loss, one near her right eye and the other to the left of her chin. Scuff just above the woman's cloak at the right center.

Possibly a 7'' vertical tear extending downwards towards woman's left hand (an area that flouresces under UV light). There is also some inpainting in the woman's face as well as the bottom edge and upper right. Condition commensurate with age.
