Condition Report

Paper laid down on board; the board is stable and there are no signs of retouching visible under UV light. There are tiny flecks of paint loss throughout the composition, most notably within the dark pigments of the woods in the background and within the skirt of the central figure in the foreground, due to the dry nature of the medium, and which could be consolidated and in-filled. There are areas of paint shrinkage, predominantly to the white pigment, and fine lines of craquelure in places. There is some frame rubbing visible to the lower and right edges and minor spots of paint loss along all four edges. The board is slightly warped at the lower right corner and there are some water marks visible to the centre of the composition which could be reduced by a conservator. There are very light and faint surface scratches in places as well as artist's pinholes visible to both lower corners and to the upper right corner. This work appears to be in overall fairly good condition.
