Lot 9

Some minor crazing through hair of subject. The work shows signs of being rolled or folded in a certain light. There are two crease lines under surface of paint that are lightly visible. It is unlikely that the work has been relined or restored, however there is a cover across the back of work. Frame is gold with velvet mount, and in good condition.
There are three horizontal paint stripes on the lower right hand side that appear to be by the artist's hand.
