Condition Report

To the naked eye: The painting appears in a relatively satisfactory condition. It is painted in a panel made by one non-cradled plank. We notice some repaints on the curtains, along the folds and also on the armchair pattern on the right. Those restorations look mat at the grazing light and are probably overflowing. Everywhere else, we notice a very beautiful sparkle matter very well preserved. We notice some very minor losses of matter. Under U.V. light: The painting appears under a green uniform varnish. We notice the restorations already mentioned on the curtains, the armchair and the armchair's legs. We notice some very light repaints on the upper left corner.
