The artist records two paintings in his sitter book (nos. 288 and 411) for the years 1810 and 1815.Condition ReportOil on canvas which has been lined. There is water staining on the reverse of the painting which may account for some of the structural issues discussed below. The lining canvas is failing at the right edge with the original canvas coming away. There are also small tears beginning to form in the tacking edges. In the area of the sitter's right shoulder there is blistering in the paint layer leading to paint losses. There are also losses and areas of vulnerable paint along the lower edge. There are localised retouchings in the sitter's face and background covering drying cracks which are well matched to the original. The varnish has been affected by moisture leading to blooming across the surface. The varnish has become yellow as it has aged and dull. There is a layer of surface dust on the front and reverse of the painting.
