Condition
The panel is sound. Examination under UV light reveals some fluorescence above the sitter's lips and to the proper right hand side of the sitter's curls, there are some further spots of retouching to the edges, predominately to the upper and left edges associated with frame rubbing. There is a small hole to the centre of the upper edge, possibly to assist with display purposes. There is some minor flecks of paint loss to the extremes edges and corners. Otherwise this work is in overall good condition.
