The condition of lots can vary widely and the nature of the lots sold means that they are unlikely to be in a perfect condition. Lots are sold in the condition they are in at the time of sale.

The painting presents very well, with the strength of composition well preserved.
The canvas has been subject to relining, it is held under correct tension and is stable.
In natural light some abrasion can be seen to the canvas edges, the result of previous frame abrasion. There is some minor scattered retouching that has discoloured somewhat.
Examination in UV light reveals minor scattered retouching in the face and pin-head retouching in the collar. There is more extensive retouching to the background, notably above the sitter's head. There is a line of retouching to the lower edge. The varnish is even.
In a plaster and gilt-wood frame (approx. 87 x 76 x 6 cm.).
