Portrait of a lady, bust-length, in a white collar and black dress

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.

This small painting is executed on a uniformly thin flat sheet of copper. The paint layer is stable under a clear varnish. In raking light small losses in the background, face, and hair are visible. These have been delicately restored. Old restorations in the white lace have discolored slightly over time. The aforementioned restorations fluoresce in ultraviolet light. The painting is offered in a gilt wood frame.
