Condition
The board is stable. There are three lines of retouching to cover paint craquelure across the top of the work and two similar horizontal lines to cover craquelure along the bottom edge. There are two 1cm. sq. spots or retouching to the centre of the top left quadrant, and to the bottom left edge. There is a 2cm. line of retouching to the right of the bottom window and a line of retouching to cover frame rubbing along the bottom edge together with a 1cm. by 2cm. area of retouching to the right of the bottom edge. All retouching is visible under UV light. Apart from a slightly undulating surface, especially to the top and bottom edges, this work is in fairly good condition.
