. Old reline. Covered in a thick layer of dirt and discoloured varnish. Fine - widely spaced cracqulure throughout surface which is mostly stable, although there is a small area which is beginning to look precarious in and around the folds of his cap on the left hand side. There is little to discern under a UV lamp ijn terms of restoration and overpainting, which may well not be representative. Certainly the folds and shadows on the left hand side of the boys cap would appear to have strengthened, as have others areas of definition. There is a small area of old damage approx centre of upper edge, etc. Retains reasonable surface and impasto. In an overall fair, reasonable and stable condition.
