Condition Report:
Some light surface dirt to the enamel under the glaze, however most of this should be easily wiped away with a soft brush. There is a small brown/green blemish to the sitter's waist (lower left as you look at it, approx. 3mm) together with some associated clear residue moving left to the sitter's right arm - it is unclear what has caused this. The clear residue at least, looks like it could be removed with restoration. Unexamined out of glazed frame.

The mount with a number of small dints throughout, and nicks around the edges, the backing seam also with some splitting. The reverse with two areas of glue residue where previous labels have been removed. Condition Report Disclaimer
