The blank margins show some age toning, otherwise well preserved. The portrait has recently become the focus of scholarly debate; cf. the article by Peter Kothe, "Wie 'echt' ist John Chapman's Mozart-Porträt? Betrachtungen zu einem englischen Kupferstich des Jahres 1817" (in: Mitteilungen der Internationalen Stiftung Mozarteum 33).
