Condition
The canvas is original and slightly slack and loose. There is some very minor frame abrasion to the extreme right edge. Due to the rough weave of the canvas, there are speckles in the bust where the paint hasn't taken to the canvas with one or two tiny flecks of loss and one or two tiny possible flattened impasto tips, with one further tiny fleck of loss to the left edge to the left of the figure's shoulders. There are instances of studio detritus within the paint and some light surface dust in places. Subject to the above, the work appears in very good overall condition. Inspection under ultraviolet light reveals a thick layer of varnish but no obvious signs of retouching. The work is held in a painted wooden frame. Please telephone the department on +44 (0) 207 293 6424 if you have any questions regarding the present work.
