Condition
The canvas has been strip lined.
The paint surface is thick and expressive. There are one or two minor spots of craquelure in isolated places across the surface.
Ultraviolet light reveals an opaque varnish, which makes a clear reading difficult. There appear to be retouchings in places along all four edges , in an area on the back of the sitter's neck and isolated flecks across the surface, but predominately in the lower left quadrant.
Held in the original wooden frame, hand painted by the artist.
