Signed bottom left corner. Panel mostly covered at reverse, but minor old knocks to back edges from framing in past. Pinned at all sides. Panel flat with no signs of active splitting. A few very feint, slightly raised brittle age cracks in a few areas. Scattered minor retoucings to tiny losses and rubbing at edges - visible as a pinkish colour in the background. Minor reinforcing overpaint to the background to suppress a pentiment around the sitter's head and slight possible abrasion. A few further scattered tiny retouchings. Further areas of possible very minor abrasion in delicate passages. Even surface gloss, light surface dirt and dust. One flyspot below elbow. A few minor tiny scratches to the varnish.
