Condition Report:
Light surface dirt throughout. There is a very faint, small, white blemish to the right of the sitter's chin but this is hardly noticeable and not clear whether it is in fact part of the original design. Otherwise the work appears to be in good original condition. Unexamined out of glazed frame.

The mount with some tarnish and general wear commensurate with age. The glaze with one or two scratches. Condition Report Disclaimer
