Condition Report:
Light surface dirt throughout but most concentrated around the framing edges where there is also some associated rubbing. Perhaps some slight fading / discolouration to the sitter's coat but this is minimal. Otherwise the work appears to be in good condition commensurate with age. Unexamined out of glazed frame.
