Sotheby's condition report from 2009 "Painting has been relined and surface has been pressed overall as a result. despite this, the picture still reads very well and presents a strong and decorative image. under ultraviolet light: there are scattered retouches throughout the background; there is inpainting of craquelure on face and some small retouches on her chest. also, reinforcement of the dark shadowed area on left side of face. one or two retouches to costume. these have all been well applied and there is no need for further work. In a carved and gilt wood frame with stylized leaf pattern. Some losses to the gilding."
