Condition
Relined and under an old varnish. there is a paint loss at lower center edge (just barely visible in catalogue image) and another at center left edge. the paint surface is in generally healthy state with nice preservation of detail. some slight thinness to some areas of background and to hair at top and far sides. examination under UV shows some retouching to hair at right side. other parts of hair fluoresce, but this appears to be due to uneven varnish. face, chest and costume look very good. some retouching at edges.
In an elaborately carved and gilt wood frame.
