Moderate deposits of surface dirt and dust; canvas is lined; passages of the canvas are pressed due to the lining process; instances of paint separation scattered throughout; frame abrasion extending along the majority of the left edge; areas of inpainting visible in the background, but only under raking light; under a highly reflective varnish. Under UV light: the thick varnish prohibits a clear viewing of inpainting; however, areas of inpainting throughout the background fluoresce slightly; an area of inpainting above the girl's right eye, within the hair, as well as strokes of inpainting to address paint separation around her eyes, nose, and mouth. Additional images available upon request.
