Condition report: Oil on canvas. The canvas appears to be unlined although there is paper tape around the edges which extends into the picture plane. There is a minor undulation in the canvas at the lower left corner. The paint layer is stable, there are small areas of retouching around the edges of the painting which are fairly well matched to the original. There is a thin layer of varnish which is slightly yellowed but even and glossy. The right hand slip has broken and is potentially damaging to the painting. There are chips and losses to the gilding on the frame.
