Bon état général. Le panneau est en très bon état général. Très légères traces de fluorescence à l'examen à la lampe de wood le long du bord supérieur droit et du gquart supérieur gauche ; rayure de 3cm de long à la gauche de l'oreille droite du personnage de gauche et sur 1 x 1 cmau centre du bord gauche ainsi qu'une aute à l'angle inférieur gauche. Le panneau semble avoir été vernis, ce qui nous empêche un examen plus approfondi. Pour tout renseignement complémentaire sur ce lot merci de contacter le département au +33.1.53.05.52.81 Good overall condition. The board is sound. There is faint evidence of fluorescence under UV light, notably along the upper right edge and in the upper left quadrant, in a 3cm horizontal scratch to the left of the figure’s right ear, and around a 1x1cm spot in the centre of the left edge and another in the lower left corner. The works appears to be varnished which prevents further examination. For any additional information please contact the department at the following number +33.1.53.05.52.81
