Condition
The board has horizontal hairline cracks across the whole surface. Under ultraviolet light a few small spots fluoresce a bright white colour on the face of the figure seated on the left side of the work. This does not appear to be retouching. It may be a reworking by the artist's hand. The colours are clean and crisp. Held in a light pine frame.
