Some fine cracks and two scratches. The composition is superb with this embroiderer in an interior with multiple details, hanging violin, calendar, books, cards, drawing boards, inkwell, lamp. A window open on the roofs and chimneys of Paris, so many things which contribute to giving an atmosphere and a calm and pleasant ambiance. a success. The canvas is enlarged by two centimeters at the top. dimensions 47.6 cm x 37.5 cm. I present it in an old frame with its original gilding some small losses to the dimensions of 55.5cm x 47.3 cm.
