Condition Report

Oil on canvas which is unlined. The canvas is in plane but the tension is slightly slack and stretcher bar marks are starting to form where the canvas rests against the wooden stretcher behind. There is a vertical tear at the left hand edge which has been secured at the reverse with tape. The paint layer is in a good, stable condition overall. Drying cracks have formed in some paint passages. The painting appears to be unvarnished, a white bloom is forming in localised areas of the surface. The upper right moulding on the frame is loose and there are scattered chips and losses to the gilding.
