Presented in an antique gessoed and giltwood frame.
49-1/2" x 40-1/2", framed 58" x 48-1/2"

Notes: The specific wording on the Gallais label suggests the painting was stored in that company's warehouses during the German occupation of the Isle of Jersey.
Condition
In overall good, professionally restored condition. Surface crack at upper center in figure's hair. Evidence of past restoration: painting has been relined; scattered areas of inpainting throughout, including a possible old L-shaped repair at figure's proper left eye and forehead.
