Condition Report:
Very light scattered surface dirt throughout, with a small brown spot to the right of the lady's head (visible in online illustration). Light surface scratches throughout. Some loss to the paint at the extreme edges, and this is most heavy to the lower left edge. Small area of possible retouching to the sky left of the man's head. The miniature as been laid down to the card backing.

The mount with some nicks to the corners and general wear throughout commensurate with age, would benefit from being re-glazed. Condition Report Disclaimer
