Condition
The painting has been recently cleaned, restored and relined and synthetic board has been attached to the reverse of the stretcher.
The paint surface is secure and there is a restored horizontal damage, perhaps as a result of old frame abrasion, running across the lower edge.
Inspection under UV light is impeded by the thick varnish but scattered retouchings do fluoresce most notably in the darks of the background and the sitter's armour.
Offered unframed.
