Condition
The board is stable. There are areas of retouching at intervals throughout the sky, mainly towards the top two corners. There are intermittent lines and spots of retouching to all four edges and four nailhead-sized spots of retouching surrounding the figures in the foreground. All retouching is visible under UV light. There are some paint strokes which fluoresce in the sky, possibly retouching. This work is in fairly good condition.
Colours: Overall accurate, although the sky's yellow tones are more vibrant in the original.
