Condition
The canvas is unlined.
There are scattered minor paint losses throughout but the paint surface is generally secure and under a glossy varnish.
Old discoloured retouchings are visible to the naked eye. Inspection under UV light confirms these and reveals older restoration work in the background to the left of the sitter's head.
