Condition Report
Appears to be in good overall condition. There is a small abrasion to the background at the centre of the top edge and to the left of the sitter's chin but these imperfections are not overly distracting. The portrait itself is fine and clear and presents well.

Buying a pre-loved, antique, or vintage item not only provides you with unique style and value for money but it also helps to reduce landfill, and the annual emissions of an antique or vintage piece can be as little as one sixteenth of those of its new equivalent!
