Provenance: Cider House Galleries Ltd., Bletchingley, Surrey (as Attributed to Johnson) Condition Report: The canvas has been lined.

An area of loss is present and there is some slight lifting. Inspection under UV reveals large areas of retouching to the background, most notably along the lower edge, along the right side of the canvas and to the upper left corner. Restoration is evident to the flowers in the lower left quadrant and throughout the scenery. Various retouches are present to the sitter's clothing, as well as infilling to her face and decolletage.
