Oil on canvas with an old reline, canvas now showing slight outward bulging, paint overall has a rather dirty matted finish and would benefit from a clean, canvas has dropped slightly in the frame so the top margin now showing flaking and wear, it is quite possible that this frame is not the original although it is a period example, a little fine craquelure running through the flesh tones, not noted elsewhere. Period giltwood frame overpainted with gold paint and now rather tatty, label verso with extensive details of the sitter.
