Condition Report; Very good, interior fabric I feel is original, gray fabric on back most likely a replacement. One of the 4 small pins on the frame is missing; however, the 3 that remain hold the portrait and glass tightly. One small flat chip on the glass which is not noticeable unless the glass is removed. The edge of the frame covers it. less
