Additional Notes & Condition Report

The work is glue relined. It is difficult to discern restoration through the varnish but it seems that there is inpainting at the edges. There may be a small spot of inpainting in the chin and at the right cheek (viewer's left) of the sitter. to the left of the sitter in the background there is an apparent repair to the canvas.
