Woman likely a dancer. Framed 67.5" x 31.75". Unframed 66" X 30.1".

Under black light examination, painting exhibits a number of dimples or pock marks throughout. Signs of moisture or mildew visible predominately on right side of work. Long thin scratch in bottom right corner. Scattered retouches—not overtly apparent without black light examination and not on crucial areas such as woman’s face. Vertical line with losses at center—likely canvas was folded at one point and was off stretcher. Stretcher appears to be newer that painting. Paint layer stable, however, craquelure throughout. Curved crescent form tear in woman’s hair.
