Comparison with the Painting Inscription
The painting under study features a faint handwritten inscription on the back side, partially obscured by a later canvas overlay (Figure ). The visible letters appear to form the word "Shakespear" or a similar variation, consistent with the spellings documented in the six surviving signatures. It is essential to note that the inscription's faded quality and partial obscurity prevent definitive attribution.
03
Pre-Restoration Condition
Before restoration, the painting exhibited several notable forms of degradation, consistent with its age and exposure to environmental factors. The following aspects were observed: Surface Varnish Degradation: The surface varnish had become uneven, exhibiting heavy bubbling and patchy discoloration. This created an obscured, dull appearance, particularly affecting the visibility of finer details such as facial features, beard, and clothing textures.
