Condition

Line in face of gentleman (does not go into sitter's eye, could be water damage but appears to just be surface dirt). Spots near chin and coat collar also appear to be surface dirt or paper fibers. The gold inner rim of the frame is part of the frame. Overall good condition. Provenance: The Collection of Naoma Mary Gulick, Santa Rosa, CA.
