Condition report:
Oil on canvas which is unlined but has several patches on the reverse covering holes and damage to the canvas. The canvas tension is poor and there are undulations across the surface. The areas of damage have been crudely overpainted. The paint layer is in a good, stable condition overall. The varnish is probably original. It is very yellowed but even and semi-glossy. Minor losses to the gilding at the edge of the frame.
