Condition

This work is in very good condition. There is evidence of light wear to the upper right corner. Visible only upon very close inspection under raking light there is a thin and unobtrusive vertical abrasion to the varnish approximately 10cm from the right edge. Very close inspection reveals a pinhead sized speck of loss to the lower left edge, approximately 4cm from the lower left corner. Some light and superficial dust has settled on the surface in a few places, notably on the lower right edge. No restoration is apparent when examined under ultraviolet light.
