Condition
The canvas is unlined. There is a milky varnish preventing UV light from fully penetrating. There appears to be a spot of retouching to the centre of the right edge and some tiny dots of retouching to the sitter's proper right eye. The canvas is slightly undulating. This work is in good condition.
