Condition report
There is some discolouration to the silk ground through fox staining and a smudge stain to the left of her face. There are no tears to the silk ground but there is a small 4mm lin, diagonally below the smudge mark that looks like a piece of cotton or a very small pull. The colours are strong, as is the detail to the face. The frame shows its age with scuffs to the very outer edge.
