From Bristol City Museum and Art Gallery:
The unfinished painting was found in the artist's studio after her death, and we can see that the area around the man's jacket remained unresolved. We can also still spot where, maybe in an attempt to nevertheless pass the painting as finished, an ill-fitted frame separated the original paint from a later layer of oil. This later layer dried very slowly in a very polluted city gathering thus far irremovable 19th century dirt.
