Condition
It has not been possible to examine this work out of the frame. Executed on a sheet of buff tracing paper, attached to the mount at the upper edge and at each corner, not laid down and floating in the mount. The surface of the sheet is undulating, consistent with application of medium. There is some very small flattened creases to the edges, in particular to the upper part of the right edge. There is some very minor paint shrinkage to the thicker white pigment with an associated fleck of paint loss to the upper part of the face. This work is in good condition.
