The painting is housed in an antique gilt wood frame and retains a beautifully aged surface with rich color and authentic antique patina. A wonderful example of European portraiture, the work offers both decorative appeal and period charm. Condition is good antique condition with age-appropriate wear. Historical repairs are present to the canvas. The painting displays beautifully and is ready to hang.
