Note: The piece is not signed or dated.

Note: At some point in time his has been professionally re-lined and stretched on new wood stretchers, and on the verso evidence of three canvas repairs (see photos).
Inserted into antique ornate gold color and black sculpted frame with a small vertical crack in the base of the frame (see last image).
