Condition Report:
There is some staining / residue around the miniature's edges (visible in online illustration) and it is not clear what has caused this. Light white surface mould is visible to the edges, background, and sitter's coat, however this should be easily removed with a soft brush. Some concentrated surface dirt to the framing edges, and some light surface scratching throughout. Unexamined out of glazed frame.
