Framed approximately 41.625" x 34", unframed approximately 35.875" x 27.875".

Painting has been relined. Slight edge of original canvas visible and appears to be oxidized commensurate with age (canvas with wider weave). Under black light examination, there are some scattered minor areas with in painting including a small U shaped area on girl's forehead, some minor thin in-painting on cracks around nose and some small spots scattered in background. In painting not apparent to naked eye. Light craquelure commensurate with age, however, paint layer is stable.
