Condition
The sheet is not fully laid down, but is adhered to a backing card in at least all four corners.
There is minor cockling to the sheet, with very slight curling visible to the extreme tips of the sheet. There is a fine line of time staining to the edges most probably in line with a previous over mounting. There is a tiny spot of possible foxing to the left of the sitter's face, and a couple of further small spots to the upper left edge, with further very minor possible traces of staining and fading to the sheet. This excepting the work appears in good overall condition.
Housed behind glass in a gilt wooden frame, float-mounted within a cream card mount.
