More Information

The paint surface shows craquelure throughout. There is a fine diagonal scuff approximately 8cm long to the left side of the picture, and another small scuff approximately 3cm long to the lower part of the picture on the dress arm. The paint surface shows the odd small raised area, most noticeably to the top right corner. Examination under UV shows no obvious evidence of significant repair or restoration. The paint surface is somewhat dirty and would benefit from cleaning.
