Paper remnant to verso of canvas with handwritten note "Agusta, Maine, 1853, circa 1860". Verso of stretcher also with two newspaper or catalog clippings noting similar paintings. Framed approximately 33" x 27.75". Unframed approximately 25" x 20".
Condition
Painting has been relined. Oxidation to back of stretcher. Small craquelure throughout. Under black light examination, scattered in painting around edges-- losses from rubbing on frame. Smaller but significant retouches throughout girl's face, left ribbon, and dress--particularly on left eyebrow (areas appear to be crack fills). Lower center of dress with larger retouch--likely earlier tear or rip. No other signs of damage, loss or repair.
