Condition

The board is sound and there are no signs of retouching visible under UV light. There is a nailhead-sized spot of paint loss towards the centre of the board and a spot of paint loss towards the upper left corner. Apart from some craquelure to the standing figure on the right and some light frame rubbing to all four edges, this work is in good condition. Colours: Overall fairly accurate although richer in the original, particularily in the reds.
