Condition report

The canvas has been relined.  Some scattered lines of craquelure, otherwise paint surface is generally clean and sound.  Ultraviolet reveals retouching to background above sitter's head, sitter's hair and above left shoulder (this has discoloured and is visible to the naked eye).  We would estimate this work be late 19th century.
