Further fine linear retouch to lower edge at approx centre and approx 1.5cm in length. Odd sporadic fine retouch elsewhere mostly to the lower foreground. Cleaned and revarnished. Possibly some light thinning to some of the paint although assumed to have been executed with an almost porcelain-like finish. Please contact the department for further information.
