Condition report
Dark patch to her hair in photo is just a shadow, it is not on the work itself.
There appears to be a small line above her hair to the right in the brown background, where the brown background appears slightly paler to the left and darker to the right of it.
A line visible upper right background, another line centre right to background and the collar of her coat. A small dark mark in the same area.
Dark paint to the left, along where her face and body meet the background, this might be original to the work however.
Overall appearance is generally good.
