Condition
The canvas has been re-lined. There are scattered minor spots of retouching visible under ultraviolet light, partially obscured by a varnish, notably to the face of the clergyman. Apart from a yellowed varnish and scattered surface dirt, this work is in very good condition, with fine detail, and ready to hang. Held in a decorative, gold-painted moulded plaster and wood frame.
